8th KOSTAT-UNFPA Summer Seminar on Population

2021 Summer Seminar on Population comprises four workshops and is designed to foster each participant’s capacity on population statistics by serving as a valuable forum for individuals and institutions.

Considering the COVID-19 situation, this year's program will be conducted (1) online with English lectures for both international/domestic participants and (2) offline with Korean lectures for domestic participants only.

The KOSTAT-UNFPA Summer Seminar on Population has been serving as a forum for individuals and institutions concerning population-related issues in the Asia-Pacific. Four independent and consecutive workshops will focus on “R in  Demography”, “Migration Estimation and Visualization”, “Panel Data Analysis and Event History Analysis”, and “Analyzing Demographic Data Using GIS”.
These workshops are expected to provide an opportunity for experts on demography and government officials in charge of population censuses and statistics around the world to promote new methods for producing and analyzing population statistics and demography.

Participants are encouraged to select one or more workshops among the four options.
