*New* Call for Papers: Wittgenstein Centre Conference 2026 (Virtual) on Demography and Human Capital (04/20/26)

Posted: 2/19/2026 (Conference)

The call for submissions for the Wittgenstein Centre Conference 2026 (WIC2026) “Demography and Human Capital” is now open!

This conference aims to advance theories, data, and multi-dimensional demographic methods for modelling human capital formation and its dynamics over time, and to connect cutting-edge evidence to policy debates globally. Human capital – education, skills, health, and capabilities – is a central driver of demographic change and a key lens for understanding social and economic development, inequality, and resilience.

We invite contributions from all disciplinary background and methodological traditions.
