An introduction to the analysis of population-level kinship structures

Welcome to the submission site of the workshop on "An Introduction to the Analysis of Population-Level Kinship".

This workshop is designed for PhD scholars and postdoctoral researchers at IIPS interested in studying family structures beyond co-resident kin. It aims to equip participants with the skills to estimate various kinship structures, including grandparents, parents, children, siblings, cousins, and grandchildren, using socio-demographic indicators. The workshop will cover both theoretical and methodological aspects of kinship estimation, integrating lectures, hands-on practical sessions, and analytical exercises. Participants are expected to attend the full program, which will span multiple days with structured sessions each day.


Pre-requisites for Participants
Participants should be enrolled in or have completed a PhD program and currently be associated with IIPS. We will prioritize advanced students (second year or above) with solid demographic training. Students should be familiar with basic demography (human, plant, or animal), including life tables, mortality and fertility schedules, population projections, and their applications. Students should have experience in using R (all computer exercises will be in R). Participants are expected to bring their own laptops. Registration can be made only through filling out this form. If you have any questions regarding this registration form and workshop, please write email to  kinship@demogr.mpg.de
