In 2025, our journal turned 50!

The 50th volume of Comparative Population Studies (CPoS) was a significant milestone in the journal’s history, offering us the opportunity to reflect on its development into a key platform for population research, major achievements, and future aspirations. We celebrated this special anniversary with a series of editorials by former editors, authors and advisory board members who shared their experiences and insights.
