CREG Participates in the Civil Society Consultation on the World Bank’s New Country Partnership Framework

The World Bank Group will hold a consultation with civil society organizations on its new Country Partnership Framework (CPF) for Senegal on October 28, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., at its headquarters in Almadies, Dakar.

The Regional Consortium for Research in Generational Economy (CREG) will participate in this consultation, which aims to gather civil society recommendations on the priorities of the new partnership framework.

Aligned with Senegal Vision 2050, the CPF seeks to help restore macro-fiscal stability, protect vulnerable populations, improve essential services and infrastructure, and develop job-creating value chains.

Discussions will focus, among other issues, on social protection, access to essential services, employment, and private investment. Participants will also address young people’s and women’s access to economic opportunities, as well as regional disparities, with a view to ensuring inclusive implementation of the CPF that better responds to the needs of poor and vulnerable populations.

Prof Latif DRAMANI at the University of Copenhagen: The Demographic Dividend at the Heart of Scientific Exchange

Professor Latif DRAMANI, President – Coordinator of CREG and a recognized expert in generational economics and demographic dynamics analysis, will undertake a scientific visit to the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, from October 25 to 30, 2026. He will be hosted by the Centre of African Studies to share his expertise and contribute to scientific discussions on the future prospects of the African continent.

The visit will feature lectures and his participation in the launch workshop of the “Modelling African Futures” (ModelFutures) project, funded by the European Research Council (ERC). As a member of the International Advisory Board, Professor Latif DRAMANI will contribute to reviewing the project’s initial progress and defining its future directions.

He will also deliver a scientific presentation entitled “The Potential and Monitoring of the Demographic Dividend in Africa: Methodologies and Findings.” He will present the analytical approaches, indicators, and tools developed by CREG to measure the demographic dividend and monitor the demographic transition in African countries, drawing on empirical and comparative findings.

This presentation will enable participants to gain a better understanding of methods for assessing the demographic dividend, interpreting monitoring indicators, and identifying the factors that promote or hinder its realization. These insights will inform their research and public policy analyses, helping identify the levers that can transform demographic dynamics into opportunities for inclusive and sustainable development.

Care Economy and Decent Work: CREG Participates in the 7th Edition of the Women’s Trade Union Academy in Benin

How can the care economy become a driver of social justice and gender equality in the workplace?

From October 12 to 14, 2026, the 7th edition of the Women’s Trade Union Academy is taking place at the Bel Azur Hotel in Grand-Popo, Benin, under the theme: “Care Economy and Decent Work: What Trade Union Strategies for Social Justice and Gender Equality?”

Regional Consortium for Research in Generational Economics (CREG) is represented at the event by Dr. Camille GUIDIMÉ, a lecturer and researcher at the Faculty of Economics and Management (FASEG) of the University of Parakou. He will address issues relating to the care economy and workers’ rights. His presentation is entitled “The Care Economy in Benin: Clarifying the Concept, Key Issues, and Links with Decent Work.” His contribution will deepen participants’ understanding of care work, its contribution to the functioning of the economy, and the inequalities arising from its distribution and lack of recognition.

This edition brings together women trade union leaders from Benin and Togo to discuss challenges related to social protection, the recognition and value of care occupations, and gender equality in the workplace. Discussions also focus on trade union strategies, particularly the 5R approach: Recognize, Reduce, Redistribute, Reward, and Represent care work.

1,480 Billion CFA Francs: The Value of Invisible Work in Togo

In Togo, Unpaid Domestic and Care Work (UDCW) represents an estimated value of 1,480.13 billion CFA francs. More significantly, 79.8% of this invisible wealth is generated by women. Behind these figures lie concrete realities: severe time poverty and limited opportunities to access education, employment, entrepreneurship, and decision-making spaces.

How can these data be transformed into local policy decisions?

This is precisely the focus of the National Capacity-Building Workshop for Local Elected Officials on UDCW and the Dissemination of the Saly Declaration, held on October 9, 2026, in Lomé, and organized by the NGO Cœur Solidaire, as part of the P3RTDNR Benin-Togo project. The workshop will bring together mayors, including several women, to discuss the mechanisms available to local authorities to recognize, reduce, and redistribute unpaid domestic and care work.

The Regional Consortium for Research in Generational Economy (CREG) is contributing its expertise and evidence-based data on UDCW in Togo to this discussion. The objective is to further connect data, municipal planning, and budgetary decisions, so that the care economy can have a concrete place in local policies and investments.

From invisible work to public action: turning data into a lever for more equal communities.

Potential and monitoring of the Demographic Dividend in Africa: methodologies and results

Africa’s demographic transformation presents both a major development opportunity and a significant challenge for public policy. With a rapidly growing working-age population, the continent has considerable potential to capitalize on the demographic dividend. However, realizing this potential depends on African countries’ ability to translate demographic changes into productive employment, human capital development, social investment, and sustainable economic growth.

This presentation focuses on the potential of the Demographic Dividend in Africa, as well as the main methodologies for assessing, measuring, and monitoring its evolution in different countries . It will highlight the analytical approaches, indicators, and monitoring tools developed by the Regional Consortium for Research in Generational Economics (CREG) to determine countries’ position in their demographic transition and assess their capacity to capitalize on the opportunities associated with this transition.

The presentation will also draw on empirical and comparative results, illustrating the differences between African countries and highlighting the main factors likely to accelerate or hinder the realization of the Demographic Dividend.

The overall objective is to provide researchers and students with a scientific, operational and evidence-based understanding of how to measure and track the Demographic Dividend, and how to translate its potential into concrete and effective public policies.

Expected results

Following the presentation, participants will have a better understanding:

  • methodologies for measuring and evaluating the Demographic Dividend;
  • indicators and tools for monitoring the demographic transition;
  • the main empirical results observed in Africa;
  • factors that promote or limit the capture of the Demographic Dividend;
  • priorities to transform demographic dynamics into inclusive and sustainable development.
