The principal aim of the master’s programme in Global Demography at the University of Vienna is to give students a strong scientific grounding in the analysis and forecasting of demographic developments across the globe – in particular, fertility, mortality and migration trends.

Highlighting the power of multi-dimensional demography, this Advanced Introduction addresses the most consequential changes in our societies and economies using quantitative approaches. (Edward Elgar Publishing)

The European Demographic Data Sheet 2020  reviews, explores and visualises recent population trends in 45 European countries. It also focuses on measuring and assessing education, well-being and internal migration and examining recent trends in fertility and mortality.

The Aging Demographic Data Sheet 2020 comprehensively presents new measures of aging for all countries in the world and world regions. While traditional measures of aging do not capture the changing characteristics and capabilities of people, the new measures take account of the diversity of populations and considers differences across population subgroups, and over time and space. These measures provide policy makers all over the world with a clearer understanding of how population aging has occurred in their countries in the past and how it is likely to evolve in the future. The Data Sheet also features traditional measures of aging, rankings and graphs, and contains a detailed glossary.
