Dear Readers,
Welcome! I am Professor Bong Joo Lee, project manager of Population Research Center at Seoul National University, South Korea. Through our successfully established Population Research Center at Seoul National University, we conduct interdisciplinary research projects on population dynamics and share research findings around the world.
We are a part of the 10-10 Project, which is an academic project where the Department of Social Welfare and the Department of Sociology of Seoul National University work on population fluctuations and social policies. The major focuses of the project include archiving data (especially survey data and country-level indicators for populations in Asia), holding international symposiums, and offering academic exchange programs. Ultimately, we hope to develop our team as an Asian hub to disseminate innovative studies to a global audience and to provide such guidelines on social policy as those on dynamic changes in population.
We are very much delighted and proud to share the work so far and our upcoming plans.
