The Population Association of America (PAA) is a non-profit scientific professional association dedicated to the study of issues related to population and demography.[1]

Journal

The flagship journal of the PAA, called Demography, is published by Springer and was founded in 1964.[2][3][4] It is one of the world's leading journals on issues related to population and demographic trends.[5]

Conferences

The PAA holds an annual conference every March/April in Washington D.C., in collaboration with Princeton University, where people present research and data on population trends.[6][7][8] The Pew Research Center is among the many demography-related research groups that sends many papers and posters to this conference.[9]

The PAA has also sponsored other population-related conferences, such as the 2013 conference Integrating Genetics and the Social Sciences held at the University of Colorado.[10]

Other activities

The PAA is a partner in the Science and Technology Fellowship Program of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.[11][12]
