About the Center

The ASU Center for Population Dynamics is a transdisciplinary and transdepartmental unit that facilitates professional growth and collaboration of on-campus and off-campus researchers and students interested in population matters. The CePoD affiliates represent a broad range of disciplines and professional backgrounds, conceptual and methodological approaches, and geographic foci.  CePoD promotes scholarly collaborative research and training in demography at both the graduate and undergraduate levels. The Center brings together faculty and students from diverse academic backgrounds including Sociology, Family and Human Development, and Geography.

Current research foci include life course transitions of immigrant and native youth in the United States; family/household composition and intergenerational wealth-flows, the demography of HIV/AIDS in Mozambique and Angola; ethnicity, marriage, and childbearing in Kazakhstan; the intersection of fertility, education, aging, and marriage in Nepal; the impact of population on the environment in Phoenix; and predictors of marital satisfaction and divorce, family time use, and youth demography.

The Center is dedicated to providing faculty and students with research support in a collegial and collaborative intellectual environment. CePoD projects have been supported with funds from the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, the National Council for Eurasian and East European Research.
