"A major theme of IIASA studies is the projection of population trends and understanding the strains that demographic changes place on resources and society, both globally and within nations. IIASA is continuing its pioneering work in population forecasting while extending its population-development-environment work into southern Southeast Asia. The Institute is expanding its research into economic issues related to the transition of centrally planned economies to market systems, to population movements between nations, and to global disparities in the age structures of populations. IIASA is also continuing its research into management of societal risks associated with global change and population aging.''
