This page shares updates and announcements from The Population Lab (PopLab), a research group located at the Australian National University, focused on population studies, demography, and social research.

Here we publish short updates about new projects, research outputs, events, collaborations, and public engagement activities. We also use this space for occasional statements or reflections where population data intersects with public debate.

Updates appear when there is something substantive to share, rather than on a fixed schedule.

Posts are listed with the most recent first.
