Presenting results
• General guidelines
– Provide a background
– Motivation
– Identify objectives
– Explain the assumptions and document your data
sources
– Describe the findings
– Summarize the results and make
recommendations
Presenting results
• Preparing a report
• Population projections produce usually large
amounts of data. The results of such an exercise are
often published in a number of different documents:
A press release, an executive summary and a full
report, sometimes with a number of annexes.
• Sometimes, highlights of the results are prepared as
an early-release to document the exercise in a more
comprehensive way and to give room for the
assumptions and the main tabular and graphical
results.
Presenting results
• Preparing a report: Structure
– Title Page
