Research Focus

Demography & Population
The different demographic trajectories of the developed and developing worlds, and the associated social, economic, and security implications, will profoundly alter the fundamental assumptions on which strategic calculations are currently made.


  • The Global Aging Initiative (GAI) conducts targeted regional analyses, as well as broader projects, such as its Aging Vulnerability Index.
  • The role of disease and public health in demographic change is a focus of CSIS's work on global health, especially the Task Force on HIV/AIDS.
  • The Seven Revolutions project analyzes population and demographic trends and projects how the world will look in the future.
