Introduction: KOSTAT-UNFPA Summer Seminar on Population
The Summer Seminar on Population was first launched by the East-West Center (EWC) in 1970 and quickly gained recognition as a leading population seminar series. In 2013, responsibility for population activities was transferred to Statistics Korea (KOSTAT), which hosted the 1st KOSTAT Summer Seminar on Population in 2014.
Since 2017, the seminar has been co-hosted annually by KOSTAT and the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), continuing its mission to advance population studies and statistical capacity building.
The seminar serves as an international platform for government statisticians, graduate students, and population experts to exchange ideas, share research, and strengthen statistical capacity in population-related fields. Over the years, participants from more than 20 countries have taken part in the program.
The 12th KOSTAT-UNFPA Summer Seminar on Population
is scheduled to be held from June 23 to July 11, 2025, featuring three consecutive workshops :
- Introduction to Demography
- Population Health
- Event History Analysis
This year’s program will be conducted in a face-to-face format.
