SNU 10-10 Project & SNU PRC
 SNU 10-10 Project, which involves the Department of Social Welfare and the Department of Sociology, leads a research project on population dynamics and social policy. Our research team focuses on the the low-fertility and aging society, aiming to examine the social impacts of population change and policy implications in an international context. Main projects include data archiving (especially the populatin related index and survey data), international symposium, and special lecture.
 Also, an online platform was constructed as a part of this project to enhance the international academic exchanges and the SNU Population Research Center webpage was officially opened to upload the the research outcome of the 10-10 Project.
