The IIASA Population and Just Societies (POPJUS) Program is presenting new demographic research at the Population Association of America (PAA) Annual Meeting 2024.

The Population Association of America’s annual meeting is the premier conference of demographers and social and health scientists from the United States and abroad. Here demographers at all career stages are afforded the opportunity to present their research in oral and poster sessions, hear others’ findings, and network with their peers.

Researchers from IIASA POPJUS Program will present and discuss new research at this important event.
