Dataset: Wittgenstein Center Population And Human Capital Projections

About this Dataset

Wittgenstein Center Population And Human Capital Projections

The dataset presents an updated perspective of the Shared Socio-Economic Pathways (SSPs), focusing on the global population and human capital components. It integrates the latest baseline data, maintaining the original long-term assumptions that were based on thorough analysis and expert input. The primary alteration in this dataset is the modification of the trend components, adhering to the latest developments and information.

This dataset includes demographic data up to the year 2012, reflecting changes in the population structure by age, sex, and education since the base year of 2010. These changes are primarily attributed to newer and more accurate data. The dataset captures shifts in mortality rates, especially in countries affected by HIV/AIDS and those with high child mortality rates. It also considers the impact of COVID-19 on demographic trends, noting significant shifts such as the rapid decline of fertility rates in many countries and the unpredictable patterns of international migration. These updates and changes are comprehensively reflected in the dataset, offering a refined and current view of the SSPs.
