Welcome to the Autumn 2010 CPC Newsletter

The ESRC Centre for Population Change was established in January 2009. Funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, it is the UKs first research centre on population change. Based jointly at the University of Southampton and the General Register Office Scotland, the ESRC Centre for Population Change brings together expertise from the Universities of Southampton, St. Andrews, Edinburgh, Strathclyde, Stirling and Dundee as well as the General Register Office for Scotland and The Office for National Statistics.

The centre undertakes research based around four themes:

• Dynamics of fertility and family formation past, present and future
  
• Household dynamics and living arrangements across the life course
  
• The demographic and socio-economic implications of national and transnational migration
• Modelling population growth and enhancing the evidence base for policy

The Centre is multi-disciplinary, bringing together over 30 academics and associates drawn from Anthropology, Demography, Economics, Geography, Gerontology, Sociology, Social Policy and Social Statistics. The Centre is directed by Professor Jane Falkingham (Demography) with co-directors Professor Maria Evandrou (Gerontology) and Dr Elspeth Graham (Geography).
