Short summary:

"Demographic change and sustainability: novel approaches from digital and computational demography"

Sustainability is a multidimensional concept that encompasses the natural, economic and social environments. This talk highlights recent advances in digital and computational demography with respect to (i) leveraging digital trace data to measure the impact of natural disasters on demographic outcomes; (ii) repurposing large-scale bibliometric data to assess the sustainability of the global system of mobility of scientists; (iii) exploiting simulation approaches to assess the impact of demographic change on the sustainability of care needs and family structures.
