This volume presents different scenarios of future population and human capital trends in 201 countries of the world to the end of this century to inform the assessment of possible future migration patterns into the EU, as currently carried out by the Centre of Expertise on Population and...

Operations research is the scientific study of operations for the purpose of better decision making and management. Disasters are defined as events whose consequences exceed the capability of civil protection and public health systems to provide necessary responses in a timely manner. Public...

Epidemiological and toxicological studies have reported adverse health effects in response to exposure to air pollution including nitrogen dioxide (NO2). Some of these studies have indicated that specific populations may be at different risk of NO2 related health effects than others. Adverse...

In order to assess the transmission potential and the severity of the recent H1N1 (2009) influenza pandemic within the European Union, a series of different types of epidemiological data were used. We describe the way these data have been employed to estimate some key epidemiological parameters...

Demographers use microsimulation for studying individual life courses and their attributes; events are specified to be the result of stochastic processes based on predetermined probabilistic rules. In this study, we developed and validated a microsimulation model to reconstruct individual's life...

Many public debates and political discourses in the recent years have highlighted the impact of climate change on migration. These debates are still influenced by early estimates, which predicted that millions of people would be fleeing climate change effects. Part of this alarmist narrative is...
