Contemporary demographic developments in Estonia: In search of pathways towards a more sustainable society
Description: This is a study of contemporary demographic developments in Estonia with a focus on sub-replacement fertility and population ageing. The general objective of the project is to gain an improved understanding of the trends in and patterns of the respective processes in Estonia since the beginning of the 21st century, viewed against the backdrop of concurrent developments in other European countries. In order to provide insight into the mechanisms underlying the observed patterns, the project would pay systematic attention to the experience of sub-populations as shaped by the interplay of individual and contextual factors. The project would draw on newly constructed longitudinal datasets based on administrative registers and comparative surveys (SHARE, EU-SILC, GGS). The project would be expected to support the competitiveness and diversity of social research in Estonia, and enhance the knowledge base for policies aimed at supporting societal sustainability in the country.
