About: The workshop will cover classic topics in formal demography including the analysis of fertility and mortality as well as population dynamics. In addition, this year’s special emphasis topic will be on the demography of population decline and aging, including formal demographic models for studying the impact of changes in fertility and the timing of population peaks. The workshop will also include a session on the application of LLMs in demographic research in general and formal demography in particular.

Target population: The workshops are aimed both at those with prior demographic training and those who have not studied demography but already have quantitative skills in another area. Advanced graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and early career researchers and faculty are welcome to apply. We encourage applicants from all backgrounds.

Grant support will fund air travel and lodging for accepted trainees. All other costs will be covered by trainees.
