Population Dynamics
As the world population doubled from 3 to 6 billion, the Center has been at the forefront of studying concurrent shifts in population dynamics. An important part of this work focuses on the interaction of population trends with the environment, with such studies ranging from Nepal to China to the Great Plains of the United States. The Center also has a distinguished tradition in studies of U.S. census trends in migration, immigration, and population shifts as they affect demographic change and racial segregation patterns. PSC researchers have played a central role in monitoring national social demographic change in authoritative census monograph studies.
