@chapuisk Hi Kevin, is there anywhere I can find the documentation for Genstar population generation?

Hi @ngohienduong, the main project that has been used to generate synth pop for COMOKIT in Vietnam is here. It will requires you to identify yourself to IPUMS services in order to download the sample for VN. Aggregated data comes from GSO and has been scattered to fit the 3 case studies of the beginning.
Synth pop of the case studies in Fr has been manage differently, mainly because previous algorithm was very slow (few minutes to generate a population of 10k agents) using only aggregated data, see e.g. the repo of COMOKIT-Azur. The process is based on Gen* for the generation of synthetic individual, that has been fed into a gaml algorithm to construct household based on aggregated statistics (e.g. average number of person in household based on age/gender of the head) and rules of thumbs (e.g. age gap between parent and children).
