Becoming a Member
Membership is open to population specialists working in academic, government, non-governmental organizations and other fields. A membership form can be obtained on the IUSSP website (www.iussp.org) or at the above address. You need to find two IUSSP members to sponsor you (if you need sponsorship, please ask us for help). Your application is then submitted to the Council for election. Most members hold an advanced degree in a subject related to population, have authored one or more scientific publications on population or have contributed to the field through research, writing, teaching or administration. Membership starts once you have accepted your election and paid your membership fees. Since 1999, full members pay annual dues of between US$ 25 and US$ 87. Residents of low-income and mid-income countries pay reduced rates.

Can I join as a student?
The IUSSP introduced a Student Associate status in 1999. It is limited to graduate students, and is renewable annually for up to 4 years, provided you are still a student. The fee is US$ 25 for students in developed countries and free for students in developing countries. Student Associates cannot vote and do not qualify for free journals.
