Members of the Center for Demography and Ecology are engaged in research in a broad array of population related issues. Research projects are ongoing in a variety of focus areas, including domestic and international longitudinal studies, as well as projects collecting comparative demographic data from multiple international cities. CDE's growing portfolio of international work includes research on Sweden, Russia, China, Japan, Central Asia, India, South Africa, Latin America, and South America. Investigations into the health of aging Americans and links between epidemiology and demography are also strengths.
