IIASA Population and Just Societies program is presenting new demographic research at the Population Association of America (PAA) Annual Meeting 2022.

The Population Association of America’s annual meeting is a premier conference of demographers and social and health scientists from the United States and abroad. Senior, mid- and early-career demographers present and discuss their research in oral and poster sessions, hear of others’ findings, and network with their peers. Since PAA’s first conference in 1932, much important research has been presented on topics ranging from migration to reproductive health to race and gender issues. Researchers from IIASA Population and Just Societies Program  will present and discuss new research in presentations and poster sessions at this important event.
