The workshop aimed to improve the population projection research in Asia and enhance cooperation in Demographic Research among Asian countries. Discussion focused on the demographic trends and patterns at sub-national level, data availability and quality and scenario setting according to the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSP) narratives and Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). It is expected to enhance UPPI’s curriculum in Technical Demography and its extension program particularly in providing technical assistance in the Population Projections of the Philippine Statistics Authority.
