2023 NZ Population Conference Early Bird Registration now open population.org.nz/nzpopcon-e…

Although #NZPopCon is postponed until April 2022 for pandemic-y reasons, we have asked two of our originally scheduled pandemic-y keynotes to deliver their presentations for this special public webinar tomorrow.
Relevant to your interests (and we'll put the recording online if you're out of time zone) @Stats_NZ @Demography_ANU @bspsUK @EAPS_pop @IUSSP @OzPopulation @royalsocietynz @SUDA_Sthlm @CaDDANZ @MaxRashbrooke
It's a back to the future theme: Girol Karacaoglu (VUW, former Treasury) asks if we can turn the Covid crisis into a pivot towards intergenerational equality, and Geoffrey Rice, author of Black November walks us through the human & policy impact of the 1918 influenza pandemic.
As you might expect, 2021 #NZPopCon: 'Population Beyond the Pandemic' originally scheduled for 8-9 September at @AucklandUni has been postponed until we are 'beyond' rather than 'inside' this current bump in the pandemic ride. New date coming soon... population.org.nz/nzpopcon-p…
