Welcome to the Kansas Population Center!

The Kansas Population Center is the center of population studies at Kansas State University. Reorganized from the former Population Research Laboratory of the Department of Sociology, Anthropology and Social Work, it connects demography to various fields of social and natural sciences.

We hope that you'll find interesting material, initiatives and ideas in this site. If you have questions or comments regarding our activities, do not hesitate to contact us!
