Abstract

The Wittgenstein Centre is a collaboration among the World Population Program of the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA), the Vienna Institute of Demography of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (VID/OeAW), the Demography Group and the Research Institute on Human Capital and Development of the Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU). The Centre combines the partners' strengths in the fields of demography, human capital formation, and analysis of the returns to education. It builds on a highly successful collaboration that has already generated significant scientific advances. "Human capital" refers to the human resource base in terms of the number of people and their changing structure by age, gender, location, education, health status, cognitive skills and other relevant characteristics. Our intent is to provide a sound scientific foundation for decision-making at various levels.

This 5-year report introduces these efforts by presenting achievements and results as well as core scientists and their focus.
