2008 Autmun Meeting on October 9 - 10, Nuremberg

Our 2008 Autumn Meeting took place in Nuremberg between October 9 and 10 and had its focus on 'DEMOGRAPHIC ASPECTS OF MIGRATION'.

By now the population dynamical consequences of migration often affecst the population development stronger and more sustained than the natural demographical components fertility and mortality. With other words: migration, rather than fertility and mortality, is often seen as the main ingredient of regional demographic change. Already that is reason enough to intensely deal with that topic. The research group organized this meeting in cooperation with the German Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF). The meeting aimed at analyzing migration from interdisciplinary and holistic perspectives, as well as comparing national and international studies and findings. Various research questions in the field of migration have been presented and discussed such as the population dynamic processes caused by migration, the relationship between migration and fertility as well as migration and mortality/morbidity, and both socio-demographic and economic aspects of migration. Keynote speakers include the distinguished experts Barry Edmonston (University of Victoria) and James Raymer (University of Southampton).
