Welcome!

Welcome to the web site of the "Young Demography" research group of the German Association for Demography (DGD) e.V. The aim of the research group is to advance young population scientists and to encourage national and international collaboration in the interdisciplinary field of demography.
This website provides information about the research group's key activities which include the following:

  1. To organise annual meetings in alternating co-operation with universities and scientific institutes.
  2. To establish research networks for Ph.D.-students, postgraduates and post-docs in the demographic field.
  3. To strengthen the interdisciplinary aspect of demographic research.
  4. To provide general information for people interested in demography and what's going on in that scientific discipline such as publications, job offers, proposals, links etc.

You don't necessarily need to be an official member of the group to make full use of the main contents of this page. However, the criterion to become a member of the Young Demographers is to be a member of the DGD. If you are not already a member of the DGD, please consider joining. You will also contribute towards a more vibrant community of young demographers in Germany/Europe, and a more informed, intelligent and sensible public debate about demographic changes, its causes, implications and dynamics in contemporary Germany/Europe.

Information on DGD membership is available on www.demographie-online.de
We very much look forward to hearing from you!
