The professional histories of the alumni of the Centre for Demographic Studies (CED) are a reflection of the value of this discipline and the transformative potential of demographic knowledge. Both locally and globally, their paths exemplify how training in demography can contribute to improving the world, applying population analysis to respond to the great challenges of the 21st century.
Through their academic work in universities and research centres, they contribute to broadening knowledge on phenomena such as population ageing, migration, changes in family structures and the demographic impacts of climate change. Their work not only advances scientific knowledge, but also influences public debate and policy-making.
In the context of public institutions, their training in demographic analysis is essential for planning services, anticipating needs and designing strategies that respond to population dynamics. They have contributed to the development of health, education, housing and mobility policies that have a direct impact on people's quality of life.
In international organisations such as the United Nations, the European Union or global NGOs, they work to address global challenges such as inequality, mass migration, humanitarian crises or sustainable development. Their training at the CED provides them with the tools to understand population dynamics in complex and multidimensional contexts.
