Welcome to the Population Studies Center

The Population Studies Center (PSC) of the University of Pennsylvania (Penn) was established in 1962. The PSC is a major national resource for our understanding of the dynamics of human populations, with emphasis on the following research themes: the health and well-being of populations; human resources and endowments; innovation in methods; international population research; policy evaluation; growth and structure of populations; and networks in populations. The PSC has enjoyed core support from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the P30 and R24 mechanisms continuously since 1978 and is also generously supported by Penn.
