Workshop ‘Insights into Demographics Around the Tree of Life’

Workshop objectives
You know that Portugal hasn’t replaced generations since 1981, and that we are one of the oldest countries in the world. We have fewer children but we live longer, yet emigration increases with the decline in living conditions. That the main cause of death in the country is… And that Portugal has one of the lowest infant mortality rates in the world, in countries like Guinea Bissau or S. Tomé, isn’t that quite true? Maybe this is all common sense, or maybe it’s demographic analysis. In this workshop, we intend to shed light on looking at demography as a science around the tree of life.
The speakers bring to debate different national and international perspectives on looking at the demographic transition, sociodemographic transformations such as the impact of April 25th on education, or the evolution of causes of mortality, among other topics.
