A steering committee will plan and execute a public 1.5 to 2-day workshop to bring together stakeholders and experts in demography, public health, migration/immigration/refugees, and policy analysis/evaluation to explore the causes and consequences of forced migration and population displacement on social, economic, health, and legal outcomes of refugees. The workshop will draw on demographic methods in life course, longitudinal analysis, and population estimation; and it will include perspectives from across the social sciences to consider changing socioeconomic, political, legal, and environmental contexts. The workshop will also address some of the domestic implications of international migration and refugee flows for the United States, such as issues relating to migrant resettlement or concerns regarding threats to national security.

The steering committee will define the specific topics to be addressed, develop the agenda, and invite speakers and other participants. After the workshop, proceedings of the workshop will be prepared by a designated rapporteur in accordance with institutional guidelines.
