SPaDE was strongly represented at the IUSSP International Population Conference, which took place in Busan, Korea, from August 26 to August 31. SPaDE researchers presented a wide range of papers, which attracted great attention from the international audience. The SUDA-SPaDE booth at the conference was very well attended as well. SPaDE’s participation at the conference ended in a high profile, as the closing ceremony was marked by Gunnar Andersson’s reception of the 2013 IUSSP-Mattei Dogan Foundation Award for Comparative Research in Demography and a short speech by Gunnar. Below is a list of papers, with links to abstracts, presented by SPaDE’s researchers.
