Microsimulation Population Projections with SAS
This open access book provides a step-by-step overview on how to build a microsimulation model with SAS. It shows how to convert an already existing multistate projection by age, sex, education and region into a microsimulation model. Two new dimensions are then added, either the labor force participation and the sector of activity, and/or some examples of outputs and alternative scenarios that would not be possible with standard demographic methods. The book also describes how to adapt the model for other countries or other purposes. It also provides details on how to extend and adapt the model for other purposes as well as other use of microsimulation with SAS. The book suggests codes that are easy to understand, so they can be replicated or adapted for other purposes. As such, this book provides a great resource for people with beginner to intermediate knowledge in SAS.
Microsimulation Based SAS Population Forecasts

Most population projections forecast the population using only demographic characteristics (age and sex), but the inclusion of additional dimension such as education (Lutz et al. 2014) and sociocultural variables (Bélanger et al. 2019) is an emerging approach in the social sciences (Spielauer 2010). Indeed, in addition to providing a richer set of outputs, including additional dimensions provides more flexibility in the generation of policy-relevant alternative projection scenarios. Furthermore, it improves the overall quality of the projection, as more sources of heterogeneity are considered, which also allows for a more refined modeling of demographic events. Traditional demographic projections using the cohort-component method can only provide outcomes related to the age and sex structure of a population. When extended to multistate and multiregional applications (Rogers 1980, 1995), more dimensions can also be added (such as region or education). Microsimulation is a powerful tool that can be used to create population projections when the number of dimensions becomes large. Such a model is very flexible and characterised by the stochastic simulation of individual life courses based on derived parameters and individual characteristics (Van Imhoff and Post 1998). Until the late 90s, computer power was not sufficient to use microsimulation for very complex population projection.

This book highlights recent developments in the field of computer simulation and its application to social dynamics and behaviour. It covers latest advancements in the use of agent-based modelling by focusing on thematic issues, methodological progress and applications, including policy, industry and business. It aims to promote this interdisciplinary type of research by showing synergies, complementary and integration especially between computer sciences, social sciences, economics and organization, often bridging qualitative and quantitative research. The primary audience of this book are academics, practitioners and professionals using computer simulation for business counselling or industry.
