RatSWD Session at the VfS Annual Conference 2016
Demographic Change
Using microdata to analyse demographic changes
Changes in demographics are among the determining factors for the future economic development. Access to diverse and high-quality microdata is a requirement for socially relevant research and evidence-based policy advising. There is a wide range of demographic data available which includes fertility and mortality data, migration data, and data on poverty and wealth.
The aim of this session is to present and discuss data sets which can be used for scientific analysis of demographic changes.
The presentations will be held in English.
