Asian MetaCentre for Population and Sustainable Development Analysis
Asia Research Institute (ARI), National University of Singapore, Singapore.
Self-description:
"The Asian MetaCentre for Population and Sustainable Development Analysis was established in 2000 [... It] is a research programme that aims to develop research initiatives on themes pertaining to population, sustainable development and health such as population forecasting, international migration, changing family structures and the Asian family, population-development-environment-health interactions, fertility, intergenerational relations, ageing, human capital projections, urbanization, environmental degradation and the consequences of these population dynamics on human well-being and health. In doing so, we aim to consolidate the Asian Population Network (APN), organise relevant workshops, provide training for skills development, engage in research projects, and subsequently publish research findings."
