Scotland's Demography Research Programme

Scotland's Demography Research Programme, aims to develop greater understanding of the key aspects of fertility, migration and ageing to inform the evidence base on demographic issues in Scotland.  Under the terms of the funding agreement, the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) is responsible for the administration of the programme, including the publication of final End of Award reports. 

We are supporting the research programme which is co-funded by the Scottish Government, and the  ESRC. The research section of the Scottish Government website provides background information on the six research projects, funded by the partnership initiative, which will address some of the key issues underlying Scotland's changing demography.
