Several researchers of the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) present their work at the IUSSP's International Population Conference, which takes place in a virtual manner fromDecember 5 to 10.
The International Union for the Scientific Study of Population (IUSSP) was founded in Paris, in 1928. The IUSSP promotes the scientific study of populations,encouragesexchange between researchers around the world, and stimulates interest in population issues.
TheIUSSP International Population Conferenceis the world’s largest international scientific conference on population and demography.
