IUSSP

With over 1,800 members from 140 countries, the International Union for the Scientific Study of Population (IUSSP) is a unique, worldwide association for individuals interested in population studies. The IUSSP brings together population scientists, professionals, and policymakers from diverse disciplines and backgrounds to address key population issues.

Its central objectives are to:

• Stimulate and consolidate research on pressing population issues by convening expert meetings, scientific seminars and conferences.

• Disseminate the results of this work to the research community, policymakers and the interested public through publications, policy briefs and the website.

• Build research capacity by including mid- and early-career scholars from all countries in various stages of development in IUSSP activities and by providing training.

• Encourage research and policy engagement by collaboration with international, regional and government institutions and NGOs.
