Harvard Center for Population and Development Studies

Harvard Center for Population and Development Studies Dedicated to studying the dynamic interplay between global population health & demographic change Join us!

The Harvard Center for Population and Development Studies was founded in 1964 by HSPH Dean Jack Snyder and director Roger Revelle, a noted researcher who studied the consequences of population growth for ecological outcomes. From its roots in concerns about overpopulation, our center has expanded its focus and pursued relevant questions involving demography, resources, health, and the environment,

and relies strongly on a robust cadre of multi-disciplanary faculty to advance the science. OUR KEY AREAS OF RESEARCH:
• Social and Environmental Determinants of Population Health
• Causes and Consequences of Health and Demographic Transitions
• Population Mobility: Migration in a Global Economy
• Health Consequences of Labor Policies and Work Design

We'll be using our FB presence to share latest projects, profiles of our researchers, event reminders, media hits, photos, and opinions. To see more indepth information about our work, visit our website at www.hsph.harvard.edu/cpds.
