Foot did his undergraduate works at the University of Western Australia and his graduate work in economics at Harvard University, where he was supervised by Martin Feldstein. Following his PhD, he joined the department of economics at the University of Toronto.After some early works on macroeconometrics, Foot turned his attention to economic demography.
