They will master data presentation techniques, construct life tables, analyze mortality and fertility trends, and explore stable population theory. Technical proficiency is enhanced through large dataset management and an introduction to VBA. Participants will also study innovative aging measurement approaches, develop expertise in population projections, and gain foundational knowledge in R programming for demographic analysis.
© CPS,ChulaThe course will be led by Professor Sergei Scherbov, a renowned expert in demographic computer applications and aging research. It is scheduled to take place from November 3 to 21, 2025, at the College of Population Studies in Bangkok, Thailand.
As population aging is a central focus of the training program, participants will learn and apply key techniques from the book Prospective Longevity: A New Vision of Population Aging, recently published by Harvard University Press.
