Population and Human Capital Dynamics
• New science-based population projections by age, sex, and level of educational attainment for all countries of the world with the time horizon of 2060
• In tandem with the next generation of IPCC related Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs)
• Oxford University Press book World Population and Human Capital in the 21st Century (Lutz et al. 2014).

Reassessing Aging from a Population Perspective2.2 Mio European Research Council (ERC) Advanced Grant
PI: Sergei Scherbov
• Addresses multiple dimensions of aging, including health, cognitive abilities, and longevity
• Concept of “prospective age”• Characteristics approach to the measurement of
population aging

Human Capital and Economic Performance
• Adding educational attainment to Demographic Dividend Model

Age and Cohort Change (ACC)1 Mio European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant
PI: Vegard Skirbekk
Mission: - Estimate and project future skills and beliefs across the entire world
Examples of research:- Estimating cognitive change over the life cycle
across nations- Analysing long term effects of fertility dynamics
on economic and social outcomes

Forecasting Adaptive Capacity to Climate Change2.5 Mio European Research Council (ERC) Advanced GrantPI: Wolfgang Lutz
• Formal schooling can reduce vulnerability in terms of life losses, injury, morbidity and damage
• Better educated cope better with disasters and spend less time to recover
• Policies should focus on general empowerment through education and human capital formation
