What is SimPaths and how to use it?

SimPaths is an open-source framework for modelling individual and household life course events across multiple domains. The framework projects life histories over time, developing detailed representations of career paths, family and intergenerational relationships, health, and financial circumstances. As a family of models, SimPaths offers a dynamic simulation of how life events evolve and interact within populations.

SimPaths models currently exist for the UK, Greece, Hungary, Italy, and Poland. This page refers to the UK model; the other European models are available at the corresponding SimPathsEU page.

The entire SimPaths documentation is available on its website, which includes: a detailed description of its building blocks; instructions on how to set up and run the model; information about contributing to the model's development.
