Donald Bogue is currently a research associate at the population center.

First appointed to the faculty in 1954, Professor Bogue has been one of the dominant demographers of the last half century. In the 1960s and after, his interest in family planning made him a major force in the worldwide movement for population control. He continues to do active research on topics in human ecology.

Bogue's many interests include demography and human ecology, with emphasis on the impact of fertility, immigration, and internal mobility on nations, communities, and neighborhoods.

Bogue's current research focuses on the impact of immigration and internal migration on the socio-economic well-being of receiving and sending communities, what happens in old age to women and men who never marry, and the changing household and family status of women: working and nonworking.
