Francisco presented Producing Population-level Estimates of Internal Displacement in Ukraine Using GPS Mobile Phone Data at the British Society for Population Studies 2025 Conference, hosted by the University of Swansea, Swansea, Wales, on 3 September 2025.
This talk presented methods to produce population-level estimates of internal displacement in Ukraine using GPS mobile phone data, with an emphasis on robust inference under crisis conditions.
The presentation focused on how high-frequency mobile phone location data can be used to generate timely and policy-relevant population estimates in contexts of displacement. It highlighted the value of digital trace data for understanding population movements during crises while maintaining attention to methodological robustness and inference challenges.
