Research Team

The HMD is made possible through the collaboration of many people. Two teams of researchers have had primary responsibility for the creation of this database. Those teams are based in the Department of Demography of the University of California, Berkeley (UCB),and in the Data Laboratory of the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR). The French Institute for Demographic Studies (INED) has also supported the further development of the database in recent years. This listing includes current project members.
