DYNAMIS-POP is an extendable multipurpose model. In its current state it focuses on detailed demographic and education projections, and on health...
DYNAMIS-POP is a customizable and open source modular modeling platform. Modules can be adapted and extended, and new modules can be added.
DYNAMIS-POP is based on data readily available for most developing countries. It is designed to be easily ported to countries.
The production of a synthetic (virtual) population dataset may be the first step in exploiting DYNAMIS-POP.
DYNAMIS-POP runs on a standard personal computer under Windows.
The model is implemented in the freely available generic microsimulation programming language Modgen developed and maintained at Statistics Canada.
Model development requires Modgen as well as Microsoft Visual Studio C++. For using the model, only an installation of "Modgen Prerequisites" is required.
