The Vienna Institute of Demography (VID) combines innovative methodological work with empirical analysis in demography with a focus on comparative European population studies. The Institute is embedded in the structure of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and forms one of the three pillars of the Wittgenstein Centre for Demography and Global Human Capital (WIC). The WIC aspires to be a world leader in the advancement of demographic methods and their application to the analysis of human capital and global population dynamics. In assessing the effects of these forces on long-term human well-being, we combine scientific excellence in a multidisciplinary context with relevance to a global audience. The research of WIC is structured into four broad research themes that together form a coherent and comprehensive research agenda. These four themes focus on human capital formation and depletion, on modelling, and on studying the interactions with the social, economic and natural environment.The current session will present a selection of the work undertaken at VID, with special reference to the research undertaken within these research themes.INVITED SESSION NOT OPEN FOR ABSTRACTS SUBMISSION.
