The Population Association of America (PAA) is a non-profit scientific professional association dedicated to the study of issues related to population and demography.[3] The PAA was established by Henry Pratt Fairchild and Frederick Osborn,[4] with funds secured by Margaret Sanger from the Milbank Memorial Fund.[5] In its early years, the PAA was a coalition of population scientists, birth control activists, immigration restrictionists, and eugenicists.[6]
