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.
