He worked at the Human Settlements and Systems Area at IIASA from 1977 to 1982. He has also worked at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and, following a one-year visit to Princeton University, at the Max-Planck Institute for Demographic Research in Rostock-Germany (1998 - 2003). Since 2003, he has been working at the Vienna Institute of Demography at the Austrian Academy of Sciences, and as of 2011, at the Wittgenstein Center for Demography and Global Human Capital (IIASA, VID/OAW, WU).
