Francisco presented Producing Population-level Estimates of Internal Displacement in Ukraine Using GPS Mobile Phone Data at the International Population Conference (IPC2025), held in Brisbane, Australia, on 16 July 2025.
This talk presented methods to produce population-level estimates of internal displacement in Ukraine using GPS mobile phone data, with emphasis on near real-time measurement and population inference.
The presentation focused on how high-frequency mobile phone location data can be used to generate timely and policy-relevant population estimates during crises. It highlighted the potential of digital trace data to support the measurement of displacement dynamics while maintaining attention to robust inference and methodological challenges.
