Scientific response to demographic challenges: YSU establishes Center for Demographic Research In recent years, demographic issues have become a central topic at both local and international expert levels, driven by the intensification of challenges such as population aging, decline, and migration fluctuations. Armenia, too, is facing serious demographic challenges, including declining birth rates, emigration, life expectancy concerns, and population aging. In this context, the lack of a systematic research, analytical, and educational platform in the field of demography in the country became evident. To address these issues, propose solutions, and contribute to the development of informed policies, the Center for Demographic Research was established at Yerevan State University through the joint efforts of the university, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), and the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs of the Republic of Armenia.
