Sessions organized by the IUSSP: Monday, November 18 / 2:00 PM - 3:30 PM • Theatre Hall Session 5 - Emerging issues in CRVS and ID Chair: Karen Carter, IUSSP CRVS Panel Discussant: Ellen Percy Kraly, Colgate University
The session will take the form of a discussion panel, and open Q&A with the audience to examine emerging issues in Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) arising from the growth of national Identification schemes. In particular the panel will examine the importance of CRVS in national identity, the potential of these changing data landscapes to improve our understanding of vulnerable and marginalised populations and improve inclusion, and the emerging risks and concerns around these systems. The panel will build on discussions started at the ID4Africa and Ministers meeting on CRVS held earlier in the year, and will seek to better understand the role that demographers can and should play in these emerging discussions and how we can better engage with specialists across a broad range of professions who have a key role in this space.
This session is organized by the IUSSP Panel on Population Perspectives and Demographic Methods to Strengthen Civil Registration and Vital Statistics (CRVS) Systems. Tuesday, November 19 / 11:00 AM - 12:30 PM • Kama Hall Session 34 - Urban Family Planning Chair: Judith Helzner, IUSSP

Building on the previous work of fellow demographers, this IUSSP Panel will present the case for a global survey that will provide data to better understand population and behavioral dynamics of international migration allowing international comparisons. Participants in this discussion will be asked to reflect on the benefits, general and specific goals, methodological challenges, relation with national censuses as well as regional specificities. In addition, participants should assess what other priorities exist for international migration research in Africa beyond those that can be addressed in survey research.
