About: The workshop covers classic topics in formal demography including the analysis of fertility and mortality as well as population dynamics. In addition, each year has a special emphasis topic. This year’s was on the demography of immigration, which encompasses the influence of migration on population growth and age-structure as well as the fertility and mortality of immigrant populations.

Advanced graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and early career researchers and faculty are welcome to apply. We are interested in increasing the diversity of the field and encourage applicants from all backgrounds. Travel and accommodations are provided for accepted applicants.
