They can help companies understand their target audience better and make data-driven decisions. Demography researchers can also assist in market research, helping companies identify new market opportunities and develop effective marketing strategies. Additionally, they can provide expertise in forecasting population growth and demographic changes, which is crucial for long-term business planning. Collaborating with a Demography expert can give companies a competitive edge and help them optimize their business strategies.

About
Dr. Kim's program of research aims to identify, understand, and intervene upon the dimensions of psychological well-being (sense of purpose in life, optimism) that reduce the risk of age-related conditions. <br> Around this topic, he has given invited lectures at Universities (Harvard, U. of Penn, MIT, Columbia U.), corporations (UnitedHealth Care, IDEO, AARP, Samsung), and he’s also been invited to speak at and join the working groups of national- and international-think-tanks (United Nations, OECD, Aspen Ideas Festival, Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, The Task Force for Global Health, World Government Summit, National Academy of Sciences). He’s also been recognized as one of Forbe’s 30 Under 30 in Healthcare, recipient of the American Journal of Epidemiology's Paper of the Year Award, the American Psychological Association Division 20 (Aging) Early Career Achievement Award, and an Association for Psychological Science (APS) Rising Star. His insights have been featured in the: NY Times, Atlantic, BBC News, NPR, Washington Post. His research has been cited by policy statements/guidelines formulated by the: United Nations, National Academy of Sciences, American Heart Association, the U.S. Surgeon General. Population aging is one of the most important social trends of the 21st century. In both Canada and the U.S., the # of adults aged ≥65 is projected to increase by 45%-55% in the next 15 years. As societies grapple with the rising tide of chronic conditions, healthcare costs, and long-term care costs, it is imperative to develop a science that informs a more comprehensive approach to healthy aging. Dr. Kim’s overarching goal is to substantially help improve the psychological well-being and physical health of our rapidly growing population. In pursuit of this goal, his program of research revolves around 4 interwoven questions. He studies: 1) Several dimensions of psychological well-being (sense of purpose in life, optimism) and how they relate to health outcomes. 2) The behavioral, biological, and neural mechanisms underlying the association between psychological well-being and health. 3) How an individual’s psychological well-being interacts with the surrounding environment to influence behavioral and physical health outcomes; for example, at the meso-level (dyadic dynamics in couples, neighborhood contexts, altruism/volunteering) and the macro-level (social cohesion, social and racial disparities). 4) And he partners with non-profit/healthcare companies to conduct translational research that test scalable interventions.

Example demography projects

How can companies collaborate more effectively with researchers, experts, and thought leaders to make progress on demography?

Market Segmentation Analysis

A Demography expert can conduct a comprehensive analysis of the target market, segmenting it based on demographic factors such as age, gender, income, and location. This analysis can help companies tailor their products and marketing campaigns to specific customer segments, increasing their chances of success.

Population Projections

Demography researchers can provide accurate population projections, helping companies anticipate future market demand and plan their production and distribution strategies accordingly. This information is crucial for industries such as healthcare, real estate, and retail.

Social Impact Assessment

When launching new products or implementing major changes, companies need to assess the potential social impact. Demography experts can analyze the demographic characteristics of the affected population and predict the social consequences, allowing companies to mitigate any negative effects and enhance their corporate social responsibility.

Workforce Planning

Demography researchers can assist companies in workforce planning by analyzing demographic trends and predicting labor market changes. This helps companies anticipate future talent shortages or surpluses, develop recruitment strategies, and implement effective workforce development programs.

Consumer Behavior Analysis

Understanding consumer behavior is crucial for companies in various industries. Demography experts can analyze demographic data to uncover patterns and trends in consumer behavior, helping companies tailor their marketing strategies, product offerings, and customer experiences to meet the needs and preferences of their target audience.
