Workshop on the Improvement of UN Global Population Projection

Improvement of UN Global Population Projections

  • This research project was for improving world population projections through collaboration between Statistics Korea (KOSTAT) and the United Nations Population Division (UNPD). Its aim was to acquire applicable methods for Korea’s future population projections and contribute to the growing capability of KOSTAT to aid statistics development around the world. Improving population projection methods would also benefit other countries in the Asia-Pacific region with projections for their future populations. The workshop on the improvement of UN Global Population Projection was held in Seoul, Rep. of Korea in 2015.
