We are excited to provide applied demographers with a unique opportunity to participate in a conference designed to showcase developments applied demography, receive feedback on work in progress, and strengthen professional and personal ties within the applied demography community. We welcome your submissions for the PAA 2025 Applied Demography Conference. This conference will be held in person in Tucson, AZ from February 4 – 6, 2025. 

What is Applied Demography? 

"Applied demography [is] concerned with the application of the materials and methods of demography to the analysis and solution of the problems of business, private nonprofit organizations, and government" (J. Siegel) 

Applied demography is distinct from formal demography "because it exhibits the value-orientation and empirical characteristics of a decision-making science" (Swanson, Burch, and Tedrow) and is "more concerned with the measurement and interpretation of current and prospective population change than with the behavioral determinants of this change" (Rives and Serow). 

Who Should Submit? 

We seek participation from anyone whose work intersects with population studies, whether in the academic, government, non-profit, or private sector, and at all levels of seniority. 

Does your work or field of study relate to counting or characterizing populations, or generating/using population data to make decisions? If "Yes" to any of these, then this conference is for you. 

See the full Call for Papers with all submission types and topics. The deadline to submit is October 14.
