On 25 November 2015 the Netherlands Demographic Society (NVD) hosted the 8th Dutch Demography Day in the Academy Building of Utrecht (Domplein). The plenary session started with a keynote speech by Dr. Thomas Sobotka (Vienna Istitute of Demography). His speech was titled “European Fertility: Continuity and Reversals”. During the Dutch Demography Day, demographers and researchers from a range of disciplines presented their research in three rounds with parallel sessions and one poster session.
