Mission
PRL’s primary mission is to stimulate and support high-quality scientific research on population issues affecting Utah, the nation, and the world. Our faculty’s research productivity also supports another key mission—training and mentoring the next generation of demographers and population scholars through the M.S. and Ph.D. programs in Sociology.
