What's new


Dear Members,

The IUSSP website has been moved to a new server with a new look and payment processor. This move may have affected the display of parts of the website (eg some data about Panel Chairs and Members is not yet showing, and you may come across some French on some of the forms when you are set to English - this will be fixed as fast as possible). 

Apologies in advance for any other glitches as work continues in July and August to complete the rebuild of the website.

 Distance Training 

 

Tools for Demographic Estimation 

This site represents the major output arising from a joint IUSSP and UNFPA project to produce a single volume containing updated tools for demographic estimation from limited, deficient and defective data

 

Population Analysis for Policies & Programmes 

This course introduces users to the methods used by demographers to analyse population data, and the sources of this data and the methods used to collect this data. Throughout the course, students are introduced to the types of issues of interest to demographers through real examples. Included are sessions that introduce broad areas of research through discussion of both global and national trends and sessions that show how demographic methods may be used in researching a range of areas, such as reproductive health, morbidity and health profiles, and the effects of ageing on a population.
