The Demography Workshop

The Demography Workshop, set up by the Population Research Center at NORC, helps make new and unique research accessible to the University of Chicago community and partners. The fall 2021 workshop was organized by the Center for the Economics of Human Development and focused on topics related to early-life development such as intervention programs, parent-child interactions and other determinants of skills necessary for human flourishing.
