Demography Unplugged

Demography Unplugged aims to integrate various fields of study related to human behavior in large groups. I take a broad view of “demography,” encompassing not just statistics about births and deaths, but also how people act in different aspects of life, such as politics, jobs, leadership, investments, and entertainment. This approach also delves into the hopes and fears that drive these behaviors, which is what I mean by "unplugged." Furthermore, the focus here is not only on describing these behaviors but also on predicting them. A key belief in my work is that social behavior can be anticipated to some extent. If it weren’t, discussing these topics would be pointless.
