CPC/CG webinar - The spatial impacts of the HE-related migration of the UK's school leavers: evidence from two sources | Professor Tony Champion Youtube. 2024
This CPC-CG Webinar took place on Thursday 18 April. Professor Tony Champion, Emeritus Professor of Population Geography at Newcastle University presented, "The spatial impacts of the HE-related migration of the UK's school leavers: evidence from two sources"
The rise in higher-education participation rates and the tradition of 'going away to university' has resulted in HE-related migration becoming the single largest component of internal migration for the UK migration. It has inserted a new dimension into the life course of many school leavers, involving place-to-place flows that are considerably different from when the vast majority went straight into the labour market. This seminar reports on the findings of analysing this phenomenon using two separate datasets, neither of which is perfect but potentially allowing a degree of triangulation for checking the main features. The official mid-year population estimates allow comparison of the numbers of 16-18 with 19-21 year olds, revealing the local authorities which gain and lose most from 'going away to university' movement. Secondly, the Graduate Outcomes Survey (GOS) enables the tracking of UK school leavers to university and then onto the subregion where they are working 15 months after graduation, such that the spatial impacts can be gauged in terms of both the numbers involved and the quality of human capital as measured via students' secondary-education Tariff Score and their type of job post-graduation. Each GOS respondent can be classified on the basis of their migration trajectories between domicile and workplace, enabling a set of migration accounts to be produced for each subregion. These demonstrate how the different places fare as a result of the migration of students/graduates, with more sub-regions suffering the 'double whammy' of losing out in both quantitative and qualitative terms than gaining from this process, with challenging implications for central government's current 'levelling-up' agenda.

CPC/CG webinar - Migration governance for, of and against crisis | Professor Andrew Geddes Youtube. 2024
It's well known that there are real and pressing global challenges that could lead to the breakdown of natural and social systems - sometimes referred to as a 'polycrisis' - but does migration belong within this crisis thinking? Clearly, crisis thinking has become normalised in European migration governance and is projected into neighbouring countries and regions through these mutations. Political actors mobilise for crisis and an intellectual agenda supports mutations that catastrophise migration. Links between migration and climate change often seen as emblematic of polycrisis but conceptual flaws amplify the systemic breakdowns against which these ideas ostensibly warn. Extracting migration from this crisis thinking can illustrate how migration can be part of a solution to the deep-seated problems in social and natural systems that various notions of crisis claim to address.

Connecting Generations Thought Leader Talk: How concerns for relatives bridge intergenerational political divides | Dr Zack Grant Youtube. 2024
Where do people form their opinions about government policies? The research discussed in this Connecting Generations Thought Leader Talk will show that family connections play a crucial role, influencing how individuals view the economy and government spending programs that may impact their relatives.
Surveys have typically overlooked questions about the well-being of one's family members, focusing more on the household or individual. To address this gap, Dr Zack Grant with Professor Jane Green and Professor Geoffrey Evans at Nuffield College, University of Oxford, recently conducted a new survey called Intergenpol-GB, involving over 6,000 adults in Great Britain. Detailed questions were asked about close family members in different age groups, perceptions of financial well-being of family members (as well as individuals and households), expectations of supporting family members, and targeted questions about pro-young and pro-old policy preferences, alongside political variables and vote intentions.
The findings suggest that concerns for the well-being of family members can influence political views, potentially mitigating age-based political divides in Britain. For example, older adults with financially struggling young relatives may support increased investment in education and housing, while younger adults who are worried about caring for older relatives may favour policies related to pensions and adult social care. Overall, this research indicates that 'family matters' when it comes to shaping policy preferences and political outcomes.

CPC/CG webinar - Adult children's marital timing and their financial support to ageing parents | Dr Xing Zhang and Professor Anna Hammersmith Youtube. 2024
This CPC-CG Webinar took place on Thursday 22 February 2024 at 15:00 UK Time. Dr Xing Zhang and Professor Anna Hammersmith presented, "Adult children's marital timing and their financial support to ageing parents: Variation across gender, race and ethnicity."
Marriage is a key adult milestone, yet is also considered a greedy institution that monopolizes resources, reducing adult children's financial support to their aging parents. As young people today are more likely to marry later in life, this study asks whether marriage is still a greedy institution, considering the role of marital timing. Using the U.S. National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (1994-2018), we examine whether marriage timing (never, early, on time, and late) is associated with adult children's financial support to their parents, accounting for variation across gender, race, and ethnicity. We find that adult children who never married were the largest group who gave financial support. Results suggest that marriage is a greedy institution among men, women, and white adults, but less so among Black, Hispanic, and Asian adults, suggesting that expectations surrounding financial exchanges play a strong role in family support.

CPC/CG Webinar - Has same-sex marriage improved the economic security of US same-sex couples? | Prof. Peter Brandon Youtube. 2023
This CPC-CG Webinar took place on Thursday 30 November 2023 at 12:00 UK Time. Professor Peter Brandon, Chair and Professor of the Department of Sociology at the University of Albany, presented, "Has legalized same-sex marriage improved the long-term economic security of American same-sex couples? The case of home ownership".
In 2015, the Supreme Court of the United States legalized same-sex marriage. This landmark ruling was the result of the tireless work of gay rights activists over several decades. Today in the United States, married same-sex couples share the same rights as heterogamous married couples. And, recent polls suggest that the overwhelming majority of Americans, (over 70%), support same-sex couples having those rights and securing the benefits that an American legally recognized marriage provides. While controversy swirls around whether or not the Supreme Court's decision will remain settled law, a major question yet to be answered is whether the expansion of these rights and benefits to same-sex couples has improved their long-term economic security, such as building wealth. Put differently, newly acquired and broadened rights for American same-sex couples, like the right to marry, is progress, but has that led to increased and enduring economic well-being and security? This study addresses the question by examining changes in homeownership among married, same-sex couples since homeownership is usually a long-term financial commitment and a pathway to creating greater economic security. The study finds that homeownership among American married same-sex couples rose after the Supreme Court's decision; and that more of these couples obtain mortgages in both names rather than in only one; but the study also finds that which same-sex couples benefit from homeownership depends upon the self-reported sexual orientation of the couple.

CPC/CG Webinar - Shifting age & sex patterns of premature mortality from ages 5 to 25 | Professor Bruno Masquelier Youtube. 2023
This CPC-CG Webinar took place on Thursday 26 October at 13:00 UK Time. Professor Bruno Masquelier of UC Louvain presented "Shifting age and sex patterns of premature mortality from ages 5 to 25: a systematic analysis of vital registration, surveys and censuses from 1990 to 2021".
The global health community is increasingly focusing on older children, adolescents, and youth, but measuring mortality risk in these age groups remains challenging. This presentation will analyse recent trends in mortality from ages 5 to 25 at the global, regional, and national levels. We will build on estimates from the UN IGME (United Nations Inter-agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation), derived from a comprehensive analysis of publicly available mortality data, including vital registration data, nationally representative surveys, and censuses. Age-specific patterns of mortality are undergoing significant shifts due to varying rates of improvement. Mortality declines have been much slower above age 5 than in younger children and neonates. In all regions except sub-Saharan Africa, the risk of dying between ages 15 and 25 now surpasses the risk of death in early childhood (ages 1 to 5). Additionally, the global sex ratio of mortality increased between 1990 and 2021, driven by faster declines in female mortality. Disparities in mortality risk, well-documented in young children, are extending to older children, adolescents and youth aged 5-24 within countries. Greater attention is needed to address these disparities and reduce equity gaps.

CPC/CG Webinar - Belonging to the neighbourhood, and the transition to parenthood | Dr Brian Buh Youtube. 2023
This CPC-CG Webinar took place on Thursday 12 October at 12:00 UK Time. Dr Brian Buh, Research Assistant at the Wittgenstein Centre for Demography and Global Human Capital, gave a talk entitled, "Belonging to the neighbourhood, and the transition to parenthood".
A sense of belonging is commonly described as experiencing comfort, security, connection, and 'at-homeness' that come from social interactions within a defined social or geographical space. Feeling like one belongs in their physical surroundings encourages emotional stability and investment, allowing for a person to 'settle down'. Additionally, belonging is a discursive resource that enables socio-spatial inclusion. This makes belonging an important prerequisite to social capital formation. Higher levels of social capital are associated with the transition to parenthood. This project explores the relationship between self-reported sense of belonging to the neighbourhood and the transition to parenthood. We employ the United Kingdom Household Longitudinal Survey (2009-2022) and utilise pooled-logit regression. In our preliminary results, we observe, that a stronger sense of belonging to the neighbourhood is associated with a higher likelihood of becoming a parent. This positive association is larger for individuals who had recently moved within five kilometres. Couples, where only the women or both have a low sense of belonging, have a negative association with first birth. However, we do not find evidence that couples where only the men have a low sense of belonging have a negative relationship with the transition to parenthood. These findings suggest that beyond direct financial or in-kind resources provided by social networks, emotional stability and 'at-homeness' are prerequisites to the transition to parenthood.

CPC/CG Webinar - Medically Assisted Reproduction and adult outcomes across the life course | Dr Alice Goisis Youtube. 2023
This CPC-CG Webinar took place on Thursday 22 June 2023 at 14:00 UK Time. Alice Goisis, Associate Professor of Demography, and the Deputy Research Director in the Centre for Longitudinal Studies in the UCL Department for Social Science, presented "Medically Assisted Reproduction and adult outcomes across the life course".
Medically Assisted Reproduction (MAR) is one of the most important achievements of medical science in the last generation. In advanced societies, the number of MAR treatments increases every year, and, over the last four decades, more than 10 million MAR conceived children were born, and many more families received fertility treatment. Due to concerns around the well-being of children born after MAR, a lot of attention has been given to analyse their health and development, whilst the evidence on adults' well-being and outcomes during and after the MAR process remains limited. This talk will showcase multiple studies aimed at investigating and understanding the life course consequences of MAR for adults by focusing on two broad themes: mental health and partnership stability. The results, on average, show that failure to conceive via MAR is associated with an increased risk of depression, loneliness and of partnership instability in the short and longer term. In contrast, the mental health and partnership trajectories of adults who conceive via MAR are remarkably similar to those of adults who conceive naturally. The results underscore the importance of including men in studies on reproduction and of integrating multiple perspectives and data sources.

CPC/CG Webinar - Revisiting the Proximate Determinants of Fertility: The Role of Assisted Reproductive Technologies | Dr Nitzan Peri-Rotem Youtube. 2023
This CPC-CG Webinar took place on Thursday 15th June 2023. Nitzan Peri-Rotem, Senior Lecturer in Sociology at the University of Exeter, gave a talk entitled "Revising the Proximate Determinants of Fertility: The Role of Assisted Reproductive Technologies".
In 1956, Kingsley Davis and Judith Blake published their pioneering study, which presented "an analytical framework for the comparative sociology of fertility". This framework introduced a set of intermediate fertility variables, which later became known as the proximate determinants of fertility. These include behavioural and biological factors (sexual exposure, contraceptive use, induced abortion, sterility, etc.), through which socioeconomic, cultural and environmental variables can affect fertility. Since it was first published, the framework has been revised several times along with developments in demographic research, and to adjust for changes in sexual and reproductive practices, with the most recent update published by John Bongaarts in 2015. However, the proximate determinants model has yet to incorporate the usage of assisted reproductive technologies (ART), which account for nearly 8% of all children born in some countries. This study offers both theoretical and empirical applications for the inclusion of ART within the proximate determinants of fertility. Given the global trends in the supply and demand for fertility treatment, accounting for assisted reproductive technologies in the proximate determinants framework will contribute to a better understanding of fertility change and its causes across different populations.

CPC/CG Webinar - Modelling health to support interventions: Outputs from Wessex DIET | Dr Dianna Smith Youtube. 2023
This CPC-CG Webinar took place on Thursday 11th May at 12:00 UK Time. Dr Dianna Smith, Associate Professor at the University of Southampton gave a talk entitled, "Modelling health to support interventions: Outputs from Wessex DIET".
Interventions to support the reduction of health inequalities in populations are a central focus of public health research. Though there are often data about health outcomes - diet, obesity, poor mental health - at an aggregate population level, there is less available in local areas. This lack of local-level data can create challenges in identifying areas where there are wider health inequalities, enabling resources to be appropriately targeted spatially. Further, the lack of baseline data on health can be problematic when monitoring the impact of interventions. In the Wessex DIET project, we are developing a toolkit to support local authorities and third sector organisations in collecting data on the impact of food aid interventions. As part of the work, we developed small-area estimates of adult weight, diet quality, food insecurity and wellbeing for neighbourhoods (Lower Super Output Areas) in England. In the seminar the methods used and challenges with data and modelling will be discussed as part of the ongoing project.

CPC/CG Webinar - Birth spacing and the health of mothers and fathers: an analysis of physical and mental health using individual- and sibling-fixed effects | Dr Kieron Barclay Youtube. 2023
This CPC-CG webinar took place on 27 April 2023. Kieron Barclay of the University of Stockholm gave a talk entitled "Birth spacing and the health of mothers and fathers: an analysis of physical and mental health using individual- and sibling-fixed effects".
There is a large literature examining the relationship between birth spacing and subsequent health outcomes for parents, and particularly for mothers. However, research on this topic draws almost exclusively on observational research designs, and almost all studies have been limited to adjusting for observable factors that may confound the relationship between birth spacing and health outcomes. In this study we use Norwegian register data to examine the relationship between birth spacing and the number of general practitioner consultations for physical and mental health concerns for both mothers and fathers in both the period immediately after childbirth (1-5 and 6-11 months after the birth), as well as the long-term (10-11 years after the birth). To examine short-term health outcomes, we use individual-level fixed effects - examining only different births to the same parent - to hold constant factors that may influence the birth spacing behavior of mothers and fathers as well as their health. We apply sibling fixed effects in our analysis of long-term outcomes, holding constant the family background of the mothers and fathers that we study. The results from our analyses that do not apply individual or sibling fixed effects yield results consistent with much of the previous literature, where both shorter and longer birth intervals are associated with worse health outcomes than birth intervals approximately 2-3 years long. Estimates from individual fixed effects models suggest that particularly short intervals negatively affect maternal mental health in the short-term, with more ambiguous evidence that particularly short- or long-intervals may influence parental health outcomes in the short- and long-term, though some of these patterns may be consistent with selection processes.

CPC/CG Webinar - Population Dynamics Under Global Climate Change | Professor Raya Muttarak Youtube. 2023
This CPC-CG webinar was held on Wednesday 5 April 2023 at 13:00 UK Time. The webinar was hosted by Raya Muttarak, Professor of Demography at the University of Bologna who gave a talk entitled, "Population Dynamics Under Global Climate Change".
Australian bushfire in 2020 and severe floods in Western Europe and exceptional heatwaves in North America in summer 2021, to name a few, are examples of extreme events that are documented to be attributable to anthropogenic climate change. Indeed, it is evident that the impacts of human-induced climate change on our lives, livelihoods and wellbeing are already being felt. This raises a question whether, in which direction and to what extent climate change also influences demographic processes, through affecting fertility, mortality and migration, the three key demographic outcomes driving population change. Although it is highly plausible that climate change also affects population trends, to date existing global population projections have not taken into account the climate feedback on demographic processes.
This talk aims to present current evidence on the impact of climatic factors on fertility, mortality and migration and explore whether population projections need to account for the climate feedback on demographic processes. In particular, I would like to exploit this talk as a platform to start dialogues between colleagues of different disciplinary background and hope this can lead to future collaborations across institutes.
Connecting Generations Thought Leader Talk: Making your voice heard? How different generations participate in politics | Maria Grasso Youtube. 2023
The political context in which people grow up can play a hugely influential role in how that age cohort participate in democracy. From the dominance of different political parties and prevalence of strikes and protests, to the distribution of information and ideas through social media, the society people are raised in affects the ways in which they interact with politicians and political ideas. Maintaining an informed and engaged electorate in the decades to come requires grappling with these historical shifts and their implications for democratic governance.
Does the historical context of when a generation comes of age affect their political engagement? Are older generations, for example, who came of age in a period when elections were fundamental to the existence of democratic government, more likely to engage with political parties? What about younger generations coming of age in the historical moments that followed? And what can this tell us about how democratic governance and political participation could change in the future?
CPC/CG Webinar - New perspectives in mortality forecasting | Dr Ugofilippo Basellini Youtube. 2023
This CPC-CG webinar took place on Thursday 30 March 2023, at 13:00 UK Time. Dr Ugofilippo Basellini, Research Scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research, gave a talk entitled "New perspectives in mortality forecasting".
Accurate forecasts of mortality are crucial for the provision of pensions and elderly care services. In this talk, I will present two novel developments in the field of mortality forecasting. The first part of the talk will focus on a recently proposed relational model to forecast adult age-at-death distributions. Leveraging functional data analysis methods, the Segmented Transformation Age-at-death Distributions is a parsimonious and efficient approach to model and forecast adult mortality. Mortality forecasts obtained with this approach are more accurate and optimistic than those derived from the benchmark Lee-Carter approach and its variants. The second part of the talk will concentrate on the challenge of forecasting cohort mortality data. Few methods exist to forecast cohort mortality, and the state-of-the-art approach - forecasting period mortality and extracting cohort patterns from the Lexis diagonals - has several limitations. I will show how to adapt the estimation of the Lee-Carter parameters to the structure of cohort mortality data, and then propose the Linear Lee-Carter model to derive more reasonable and accurate forecasts of cohort mortality.

CPC/CG Webinar Free Movement of Inventors: Open-Border Policy and Innovation in Switzerland | Professor Francesco Lissoni Youtube. 2023
This CPC-CG seminar took place on Thursday 23 March 2023 at 12pm UK Time. Professor Francesco Lissoni, Professor of Economics at the Bordeaux School of Economics, gave a talk entitled "Free Movement of Inventors: Open-Border Policy and Innovation in Switzerland" (with Gabrielle Cristelli, Stanford University).
We study the innovation effects of the Agreement on the Free Movement of Persons, signed by Switzerland and the EU in 1999. We exploit a quasi-experimental setting created by Switzerland's implementation policy, which initially eased off entry restrictions only for commuters from neighbouring countries. We find that this induced a large inflow of cross-border inventors (CBIs) in regions next to the border and increased the latter's patenting, relative to other Swiss regions. In the same regions, incumbent inventors directly collaborating with CBIs increased their productivity. Native inventors were not displaced nor did patenting in areas neighbouring Switzerland decrease.

CPC/CG Webinar - Global Mobile Inventors | Dr Ernest Miguelez Youtube. 2023
Dr Ernest Miguelez, Research Fellow at the University of Bordeaux, gave a talk entitled "Global Mobile Inventors". This paper documents the crucial role played by global mobile inventors (GMIs) in the diffusion of knowledge across borders. We rely on data produced by the USPTO, which links all the patents recorded since the 1970s to unique firm and inventor identifiers, and provides information on the geographic location of inventors at the time of each patent filing. Over the past 50 years, we show that GMIs have gone from being a negligible phenomenon to concerning 30% of global patents. We find that GMIs with experience in a given technology abroad are instrumental in the early stages of development of that technology in their country of destination. Finally, we provide evidence that the higher their level of centrality in the destination country's network, the fastest the diffusion of technology-specific knowledge in the local population of inventors. These results testify of the importance of encouraging talent flows across borders to facilitate knowledge transfers.

Connecting Generations Thought Leader Talk: Kinship, family and generations: Insights from formal demography Youtube. 2023
In this talk, Professor Caswell described a new theory for understanding, and making predictions about kinship networks derived from matrix equations. Given the importance of relatives and family, a formal theory of kinship has been slow to arise. Professor Caswell discussed how his theory is flexible enough to accommodate the age and size structure of populations, time-varying demographic rates, one or two sexes, the experience of bereavement due to the death of kin, and the burden of diseases or other conditions.
If we think (and we do) of the kinship network as a collection of populations, then the formal theory also leads directly to the analysis of lineages - sequences of generations, linked in lineages. It naturally provides a framework for calculating the growth or decline of lineages, the overlap of generations within lineages, and a new solution to the most venerable problem in stochastic demography: the probability of extinction or persistence of a lineage.
The panel discussion discussed the multidimensions of kinship, uncompleted pieces of the theoretical puzzle, their possible value, and how they might be completed.

CPC/CG Webinar - The cost of widowhood: A matching study of process and event | Assistant Professor Zachary Van Winkle Youtube. 2023
Zachary Van Winkle, Assistant Professor of Sociology at Sciences Po, gave a talk entitled "The cost of widowhood: a matching study of process and event."
Widowhood is a common life transition entailing far-reaching consequences. The consequences of widowhood will be examined in a novel way by assessing the consequences of bereavement for meaningful comparison groups allowing the evaluation of the impact of bereavement before and after the event. The analysis of the cost of widowhood for mental health and economic wellbeing focuses on two scenarios: unexpected and expected widowhood. The first scenario models a two-period process in which effects of widowhood occur only after the event. The second models a three-period process in which effects of widowhood also occur before spousal loss. US Health and Retirement Study data and a combination of random-coefficient modelling, propensity score matching, and regressions are used to estimate the consequences of widowhood from ten years before to six years after spousal loss. Results on mental health show a slow but full recovery for unexpected widowhood, but larger and lasting declines for expected widowhood. Findings on economic wellbeing show sizable losses for expected widowhood due to the economic cost of the pre-widowhood period. In sum, the impact of widowhood is smaller for unexpected compared to expected events. This approach advances knowledge about spousal loss, but also research on life events more generally.

CPC/CG Webinar - The Intergenerational Persistence of Poverty in High Income Countries | Assistant Professor Zachary Parolin Youtube. 2023
Zachary Parolin, Assistant Professor at Bocconi University gave a talk entitled "The intergenerational persistence of poverty in high income countries".This study investigates differences in the intergenerational persistence of poverty in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, and Switzerland. Using comparative sources of panel data, we seek to explain cross-national variation in the relationship between exposure to childhood poverty and poverty in young adulthood. To do so, we introduce an accounting framework that decomposes rates of young adult poverty into two components: (1) differential exposure levels to childhood poverty and (2) the relationship of those exposure levels to young adult poverty. We then interrogate these components in four steps. First, we document cross-national differences in the extent, persistence, depth, and age of exposure to childhood poverty. Second, we assess whether cross-national differences in these features of childhood poverty can be attributed to demographic differences or institutional differences. Third, we measure cross-national differences in how exposure to childhood poverty influences poverty in adulthood. Fourth, we clarify differences in the mechanisms through which childhood poverty affects young adult poverty.

CPC/CG Webinar - The low fertility trap: a search for empirical evidence in the case of Italy | Professor Maria Rita Testa Youtube. 2022
Maria Rita Testa of Luiss Guido Carli University gave a talk, entitled: "The low fertility trap: a search for empirical evidence in the case of Italy." In Italy very low fertility coupled with very high life expectancy will have a tremendous impact on the labour market, pension system, and health care provision in the coming decades. Knowing future population trend is key for the Italian society to prepare for the changes. The uncertainty on the future trends of births and deaths has increased after COVID-19 and has made demographic projections more challenging. The aim of this research is to single out the future prospects of Italy's population by comparing projections stemming from different organizations and their sensitiveness to the underlying assumptions on fertility, mortality and migration. A particular emphasis will be given to the assessment of a feasibility of the low fertility trap hypothesis. While all organizations agree that the Italian population will continue to decline in the future, the speed and extent of this decline vary significantly across projections. The trap assumption seems not very realistic in the short and medium term.

CPC/CG Webinar - Children, earnings penalties, and family income inequality | Professor Susan Harkness Youtube. 2022
Professor Susan Harkness from the University of Bristol gave a talk entitled: Children, earnings penalties, and family income inequality'.
Becoming a first-time parent triggers large changes in patterns of household employment, earnings, and income. These effects may vary widely across the income distribution with the institutional context of different countries having an important influence on how the 'cost' of children differs by income. In this comparative study, we use harmonised panel data for the United States and the United Kingdom from 2009 to 2019, and unconditional quantile treatment effect (QTE) with fixed effects to show how the transition to parenthood influences family income across the income distribution in two countries. Our expectation is that. because children have a larger effect on female labour supply and earnings in the UK, childbirth will have a larger and more dis-equalizing effect on income. The relative generosity of the British welfare system in supporting low-earning families with children moderates, but does not eliminate, this effect. Our findings highlight the importance of employment penalties to motherhood for driving inequalities in the incomes of families with children, and the importance of the institutional context in affecting change.

How far have we come, and where are we headed? Reaching 8 billion humans on the planet Youtube. 2022
Video recording of the Population Europe webinar: Reaching 8 billion humans on the planet | How far have we come, and where are we headed?
As the global population reaches eight billion, we bring together population experts to explore the following questions: what major demographic changes have occurred in the last decades and what can we predict for the near future? From historical decreases in mortality rates to low fertility and more diverse societies, are countries moving in the same direction? To what extent have government interventions affected demographic behaviours? How low can fertility decline? Because of the age structure of the world population, growth is in part inevitable, raising crucial questions about future global trends, among them: How can population growth be decoupled from potential negative impacts to sustainable development? How might intergenerational support systems look in the future so that generations can work together? Can societies become truly child- and family-friendly?

CPC-CG/CRA Webinar - The Impact of Unpaid Care on Job Satisfaction | Klara Raiber Youtube. 2022
Klara Raiber from Radboud University gave a talk entitled, "The Impact of Unpaid Care on Job Satisfaction". Taking up unpaid care, that is providing care for sick or disabled individuals in one's social network, can affect employment. In this talk, I will provide a brief overview of my research on the employment consequences of unpaid caregiving and focus on one specific outcome, that is job satisfaction. The research on unpaid caregiving and job satisfaction has been developed during my stay as a Visiting Fellow in the Department of Gerontology and ESRC CPC-CG, at the University of Southampton. To have a fuller picture of the employment consequences of unpaid care - including potential positive effects, as suggested by enrichment theory - it is important to examine 'subjective' outcomes such as job satisfaction. Applying fixed-effects panel models using the UK Household Panel 'Understanding Society' (2009-2020; N=171,450 observations from 32,156 respondents), we focus on changes in job satisfaction and their relationship to changes in caregiving, differentiated by intensity and duration.

CPC-CG Webinar - Internal migration and ties to non-resident family | Clara H. Mulder Youtube. 2022
Clara H. Mulder from the University of Groningen gave a talk entitled "Internal Migration and ties to non-resident family".
Scholars employing the life-course perspective have emphasized the importance of the linked lives of family members for individuals' life courses, including their internal and international migration trajectories. The FamilyTies project (www.rug.nl/FamilyTies) investigates the roles of non-resident family members in migration, both as anchors (keeping individuals and households from migrating and thus inducing staying) and as beacons (attracting migration). It also addresses motivations for migration and staying as well as individual labour-market outcomes associated with migration and staying related to family ties. In this talk, I summarize some insights from the research carried out in the FamilyTies project. I also discuss some of the data challenges associated with research on the role of non-resident family and peers in migration, with a specific focus on data for the UK.

CPC-CG Webinar - Adult children's union type & contact with mothers | Martin Kreidl YouTube. 2022
Martin Kreidl, from Masaryk University gave a talk titled: Adult children's union type and contact with mothers: Does the observed association reflect a causal effect?.
Increasingly fragile intragenerational bonds increase the demand for intergenerational contact and support (Bengtson 2001). Moreover, increasing longevity has also resulted in more years of shared lives across generations and thus has heightened the potential for such intergenerational transfers. Yet, this potential may not be fully realized as some family transitions (both among parents and among children) and non-traditional family forms (such as unmarried cohabitation) seem to reduce the frequency and quality of intergenerational exchange (Hogerbrugge, Dykstra, 2009; Schenk, Dykstra 2012). Recent research based on child-parent dyads drawn from the population in a particular year (Yahirun, Hamplovį 2014) indicates that adult children living in cohabitations interact with their mothers less often than children living in marriage. This finding is based both on within- and between-family comparisons. Some scholars use a causal argument to explain this association: it should be the lower institutionalization and social recognition of unmarried cohabitations that produce this effect.
We find this interpretation to be dubious as both union type and frequency of contact may depend on unmeasured variables (such as familialistic norms and perceived obligation to keep contact with kin). Thus, the cross-sectional association may be spurious.
Research question: We explore if adult children's union status indeed correlates with the frequency of contact with their mothers.

CPC-CG Webinar: Covid in Aotearoa New Zealand: Winning the war - but losing the peace? | Peter Davis Youtube. 2022
Peter Davis, Emeritus Professor in Population Health and Social Science at the University of Auckland, gave a talk entitled, "Covid in Aotearoa New Zealand: Winning the war - but losing the peace?".
In the first 18 months of the pandemic Aotearoa New Zealand, a country of 5 million, registered just 50 deaths from Covid and recorded an improvement in life expectancy. This was the result of adopting an elimination strategy, a communitarian approach that maximised health and welfare, but that also served the economy well. Yet, following the entry of Omicron and the opening up of the country in 2022 the death toll has increased to 1,000, the public mood has changed, and the government lags in the polls. This presentation documents the early ingredients of success, the mid-term exposure of societal vulnerabilities, and the current state of uncertainty. While the Labour government may have largely won the war on Covid, it is in danger of losing the chance of reaping the peace dividend of addressing a full policy agenda of social, environmental and economic change.

CPC-CG/S3RI Webinar: Covid-19: Opportunities & challenges for Britain's National Surveys of Sexual Attitudes & Lifestyles | Cath Mercer Youtube. 2022
This joint CPC-CG/S3RI webinar was held on Thursday 19 May at 14:00 BST. Cath Mercer from University College London gave a talk entitled: The COVID-19 pandemic: opportunities & challenges for Britain's National Surveys of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles 'Natsal'. The National Surveys of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles Natsal are large probability-sample bio-behavioural surveys, representative of the British population. The three decennial Natsals to date have interviewed 45,000 men and women, spanning those born through much of the 20th Century. Natsal's repeat cross-sectional design enables a contemporary picture to be presented while also capturing generational changes and broad societal shifts through the measurement of both period and birth cohort effects. Natsal provides evidence of the context, influences and consequences of sexual lifestyles, and is vital for informing national and international sexual health interventions, strategies, and guidelines.
Preparations for a fourth Natsal were being finalised in March 2020 just as the UK entered its first national lockdown in response to COVID-19. This talk will reflect on the opportunities and challenges for Natsal brought about by the global pandemic, including the design and rapid delivery of 'Natsal-COVID', a web-panel survey, and the methodological adaptations required to re-start Natsal-4 at a time of continued uncertainty regarding COVID-19, and will conclude with a discussion of the possible implications for the future of Natsal as well as other social surveys post-pandemic.

CPC Webinar: Close kin relationships in times of COVID-19 | Valeria Bordone Youtube. 2022
This CPC webinar was held on Thursday 31 March 2022 at 12:00 BST. Valeria Bordone from the University of Vienna gave a talk entitled, Close kin relationships in times of COVID-19: grandparental childcare, precautionary behaviours and vaccination acceptance of older individuals.
The family plays a central role in shaping healthy behaviours of its members through social control and support mechanisms. This presentation will show results from two studies. First, we investigate whether changes in grandchild care provision during the pandemic impacted grandparents' mental health. We do so using pre-pandemic data from wave 9 and the second Covid-19 sub-study of the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA). Second, we investigate if and to what extent family intergenerational relationships matter for older people in taking on precautionary behaviours and vaccination during the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe. Drawing on data from the two waves of SHARE Corona Survey and SHARE wave 8, we carry out a set of logistic models to understand the determinants of wearing a mask, keeping physical distance, reducing family visits, and vaccine acceptance. These studies show that interruptions of face-to-face interactions increase the likelihood of poorer mental health among older people, but the existence of a kin network benefits precautionary behaviours and vaccine acceptance. Thus, policymakers should acknowledge potential adverse consequences of restrictions taken on to contain the pandemic and possibly differently address kinless individuals when promoting public policy measures to fight the spread of the virus or to encourage vaccination.

CPC/SSD Webinar: Immigrants, citizens & nationals: how shifting definitions affect the demography of the Gulf States | Allan Hill Youtube. 2022
This joint CPC SSD webinar was held on Thursday 24 March at 12:00 UK time. Allan Hill, Professor of Population and International Health at the University of Southampton gave a talk entitled, "Immigrants, citizens and nationals: how shifting definitions affect the demography of the Gulf States".
The demography of the Gulf States is dominated by their history of immigration. In most states, immigrants vastly outnumber nationals. The national and the non-national populations are shaped by very different demographic processes (fertility, mortality and migration) which are often confused when combined into the aggregate figures for each country.
All the Gulf States manage the influx of migrants through strict visa systems whose rules change over time. Naturalisation is uncommon and strictly controlled since there are major advantages of being a citizen including rights to own property and businesses as well as access to generous housing, health and welfare benefits.
The case of Kuwait is presented in detail since there is a series of censuses dating back to 1957 as well as good vital registration data and a population civil status register in which Kuwaitis are distinguished from non-Kuwaitis. An additional challenge for Kuwait is the presence of undocumented potential citizens, bidūn jinsiya, as well as illegal immigrants, ghair qanuni. There have been different approaches to the treatment of the bidūn jinsiya population, including major re-classification of their status. These changes greatly affect the demography of the Kuwaiti citizen population. Major population movements have also affected the composition of the non-Kuwaiti population. After the 1967 war, there was a large new influx of Palestinians to Kuwait, leading to later restrictions after 1970. Following the end of the 1990-91 Iraqi occupation of Kuwait, many non-Kuwaitis left Kuwait but most numerous were the Palestinian immigrants wary of their future since the Palestinian Liberation Organisation had sided with Iraq. Each of these and other political events resulted in major changes to the composition and demography of the immigrant population in Kuwait.
Despite the attempts to distinguish citizen and immigrants, forward projections of older census data for Kuwait reveal that the distinction between Kuwaitis and non-Kuwaitis has been subject to change with evidence of informal naturalisation through time. This complicates the calculation of birth and deaths rates for each population and raises larger questions about the meaning of 'citizenship' and 'nationality' as well as the prospects for pluralistic states in which citizens are in a majority as in many Gulf states.

CPC Webinar: Home-based work and fertility based on UK Understanding Society data | Anna Matysiak Youtube. 2022
his CPC webinar was held on Thursday 24 February. Anna Matysiak Associate Professor at the Faculty of Economic Sciences of the University of Warsaw, gave a talk entitled, Home-based work and fertility based on UK Understanding Society data.
We examine timely yet severely under-researched interplay between home-based work (HBW) and childbearing. Namely, we study whether and under which conditions women are more likely to have a child when they work from home. Our study is situated in a liberal labour market setting - the UK. With the use of UKHLS 2009-2019 longitudinal data, we test circumstances in which HBW positively or negatively relates to fertility. We use random-effect logistic regression and consider a set of potential moderators of the studied relationship, including socioeconomic status, commuting time, work hours, and other job-related factors. Our preliminary results prove the complex association between HBW and childbearing: regular use of HBW is positively related to fertility, but only among women who do not work long, feel confident about their jobs or who otherwise would have to commute long. If these conditions are not satisfied, the relationship turns negative.

CPC Webinar: Demographic Change, the practical application of population forecasts to the planning process | Peter Boden Youtube. 2022
This CPC webinar was held on Thursday 17 February at 12:00 GMT. Dr Peter Boden, Principal Consultant at Edge Analytics, gave a talk entitled "Demographic Change - the practical application of population forecasts to the planning process".
Population and household statistics play a critical role in planning the future delivery of a wide range of products and services. This is especially the case in regulated industries, where guidelines mandate the use of robust demographic data and methods in the generation of medium- and long-term business plans. However, the demographic outlook has never been more uncertain, with the UK's exit from the EU, the COVID-19 pandemic, falling fertility and dampened life expectancy predictions. This webinar uses Case Study evidence to illustrate how population and household forecasts, in combination with regulatory guidelines, inform the planning processes of the housing, education and water industry sectors.

CPC Webinar: Employment (uncertainty), fertility trends in Italy: tale of the last decades - Giammarco Alderotti Youtube. 2022
This CPC webinar was held on Thursday 27 January at 13:00-14:00. Giammarco Alderotti from The University of Florence gave a talk entitled, "Employment (uncertainty) and fertility trends in Italy: a tale of the last decades". Labour market instability has been shown to come with consequences for fertility decisions. Especially in the southern European context insecure employment situations hamper the transition to parenthood. Most research so far has focused on first childbirth, ignoring potential recuperation effects and thus the more encompassing view on cohort fertility. We exploited recent data to extend on this point and analyse the consequences of employment instability on (quasi-)completed fertility for men and women in Italy. An additional focus is made on the changing relationship between female employment and fertility over the last decades, also taking into consideration the strong regional heterogeneity that characterises the country.

CPC/Athena Swan Webinar: Reconsidered Disadvantage in the United States | Dominique Green Youtube. 2022
This CPC Athena Swan webinar was held jointly with Femquant (https://femquant.squarespace.com/) on Friday 22 January. Dominique Green, University of St Andrews, presented "Reconsidered Disadvantage in the United States: An Intersectional Analysis".
Poverty and disadvantage in the United States is commonly defined in terms of low income. This definition and its subsequent measurement neglects the multidimensional nature of the phenomena. Most research acknowledges that this reductionist measure is insufficient but there have been few attempts at quantifying US poverty and disadvantage multidimensionally. In this seminar, I will draw on the European social exclusion literature and apply the Bristol Social Exclusion Matrix to indicators from the US Census Bureau produced American Community Survey Public Use Microdata Sample - with a sample size of 3 million addresses - in order to uncover factors of disadvantage in the United States. Additionally, I will discuss the relationship between these dimensions and sociodemographic characteristics primarily via the use of intersectionality as an analytic tool. This research explores how the intersection between race and gender better informs understandings of the experience of disadvantage at the individual level than an exploration of gender alone, particularly for Black women. Overall, using a conceptualisation of disadvantage not previously applied to the US, the research quantitatively shows that income is just one piece of a complex social issue and that women, minorities, and those at the intersection of those characteristics face disadvantage across dimensions.

CPC Webinar: Reflections on the language of explanation in demography: Clarity or confusion? Elspeth Graham Youtube. 2021
Emeritus Professor Elspeth Graham, from The University of St Andrews, presented on 16 December 2021: "Reflections on the Language of Explanation in Demography: clarity or confusion?". Measurement and modelling are staples of demographic analysis where precision is valued. Demographers frequently query the accuracy of their data and note the limitations of their analyses. In contrast, relatively little time has been devoted to considering the conceptual underpinnings of the language in which research is framed and findings are interpreted. Demography, then, tends to be long on description and short on explanation. In this paper, I select examples from fertility research to reflect on the language of explanation in quantitative demography. I consider how familiar terms such as 'drivers', 'determinants', 'mechanisms' and 'causes' have been used in the published literature and argue that demography would benefit from more attention to conceptual precision. I conclude that greater clarity in the use of such terms is needed if demography is to advance an explanatory agenda.

CPC Webinar: Mothers' nonstandard work schedules, economic hardship, children's development | Afshin Zilanawala Youtube. 2021
This CPC webinar was held on Thursday 2 December at 12:00 GMT. Afshin Zilanawala, Lecturer in Demography at the University of Southampton, gave a talk entitled, "Mothers' nonstandard work schedules, economic hardship, and children's development."
Abstract: In the last half century, global economies have faced remarkable transformations to their labor markets. In particular, the growth of the service sector, reduced costs of labor due to technological changes and globalized labor markets, and access to global consumer markets have increased the demand for services during nonstandard hours and, by extension, evening, night and weekend work schedules. Such work schedules are especially common among parents of young children, raising concerns about the potential impacts on children's early development. In this study, we investigate maternal nonstandard work schedules in early childhood and their associations with children's development at age 5 using the Millennium Cohort Study. We also explore the economic circumstances of families with mothers who work nonstandard schedules by considering a comprehensive definition of economic hardship; we explicitly measure economic hardship by including income poverty, material hardship, and subjective financial stress. We ask if each of these distinct dimensions of economic hardship moderate associations between nonstandard work schedules and child outcomes. Our findings suggest nonstandard work schedules have delayed effects on children's verbal ability and are concurrently associated with child behavior.
Additionally, the relationship between work schedules and child behavior may be contingent on experiencing financial stress. The results highlight a potentially challenging work-family interface in the context of working nonstandard schedules and experiencing economic hardship.
CPC Webinar: Women's family life courses after union dissolution: A comparative analysis | Sergi Vidal Youtube. 2021
This CPC webinar was held on Thursday 25 November at 13:00 GMT. Sergi Vidal from the Centre for Demographic Studies at the Autonomous University of Barcelona, gave a talk entitled, "Women's family life courses after union dissolution: A comparative analysis".
Abstract: Virtually all post-industrial societies have witnessed increased union dissolution rates since the second half of the XXth century. While family dynamics after union dissolution are gathering scholarly attention, little is still known on how individuals bargain post-separation family life courses across contexts that offer different opportunities for family behaviour. We address the following research questions: How do family life courses evolve after the dissolution of the first stable union? How do these processes vary across socio-historical contexts? We deploy sequence analysis on combined relationship and fertility trajectories over 120 months after the dissolution of the first union. Context variation is assessed by comparing family pathways across separation periods (1970-2000) and countries (France, the Netherlands, Poland, Russia, Spain, Sweden and the UK) using data from the Harmonized Histories comparative datasets. Preliminary findings show an emerging diversity and complexity in post-separation family trajectories. In most countries, pathways featuring the formation of new families and more complex trajectories became commonplace among recent periods. We also find divergent trends overtime in countries that were forerunners in the diffusion of union dissolution. Results suggest that socio-historical contexts importantly shaped union dissolution and subsequent family behaviour.

CPC Webinar: 'Life expectancy changes during the pandemic in low mortality countries' | José Manuel Aburto Youtube. 2021
This CPC webinar was held on Thursday 28 October 2021. José Manuel Aburto, Newton International Fellow at the University of Oxford gave a talk entitled 'Life expectancy changes during the pandemic in low mortality countries'.
Abstract: Variations in the age patterns and magnitudes of excess deaths, as well as differences in population sizes and age structures make cross-national comparisons of the cumulative mortality impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic challenging.
Life expectancy is a widely-used indicator that provides a clear and cross-nationally comparable picture of the population-level impacts of the pandemic on mortality. We leverage ongoing efforts on gathering all-cause mortality data to produce life tables by sex for 29 countries, including most European countries, Chile, and the USA for 2015-2020. Life expectancy at birth and at age 60 for 2020 were contextualised against recent trends between 2015-19.
Using decomposition techniques, we examined which specific age groups contributed to reductions in life expectancy in 2020 and to what extent reductions were attributable to official COVID-19 deaths.

Menarche (first menstrual bleeding) serves as a critical marker of puberty, and the associated physiological and social changes which collectively symbolise sexual maturation, adulthood and fertility. Recent evidence shows that age at menarche in Low and Middle Income Countries is undergoing a transition similar to that of European countries in the nineteenth century and is generally linked to an improvement in nutrition and health of young women. Age at menarche is influenced by a unique set of genetic, socioeconomic, and environmental factors. It is such a fundamental determinant of women's physiological development that it has been suggested as a key global health indicator. However, so far, we lack evidence on the socio-economic outlook of menarche and whether we can identify structural aspects associated with the evolution of the indicator such as demographic and socio- economic development.
Using micro and aggregated data for 27 countries produced from pseudo-cohort information from all available World Fertility Surveys (n=16) and Demographic and Health Surveys (n=28), we analyse the relationship between mean age at menarche and micro factors such as individual wealth, education, and macro ones such as mean age at marriage, total fertility rate, GDP and life expectancy, among others.
The individual factors vary according to time and place and we cannot generalise the findings. However, at macro level, results show a significant negative correlation development related factors (e.g.: Life expectancy, Literacy), positive with maternal mortality, teenage pregnancy and age at marriage. Less clear is the link with nutritional status such as child obesity. This analysis is key in the wider context of studying transition to puberty. The onset is often neglected and its shifting to earlier ages needs to be monitored.

CPC Webinar: 'Low subjective well-being of Internally Displaced Persons in Ukraine' | Brienna Perelli-Harris Youtube. 2021
Although Internally Displaced Persons outnumber refugees globally, few studies have examined their well-being and assimilation into the local population. Here we investigate Ukraine, which hosts the largest IDP population in Europe.
In 2014, war erupted in eastern Ukraine, resulting in around 1.7 million people forced to resettle throughout Ukraine. Despite being ethnically and culturally similar to the local population, IDPs encountered severe economic, housing, and social challenges, as well as residual trauma from violence.
In this study we examine to what extent the subjective well-being (SWB) of IDPs differs from locals who were not displaced. We explore whether the IDP/local SWB gap is due to economic hardship, inadequate housing, and/or weak social support. Using a unique survey conducted in 2018 and OLS regression methods, we find a sizable gap in SWB between IDPs and locals. The gap shrinks after accounting for economic and housing status, and support from local networks. Measures of loss in housing and social networks additionally account for the gap.
However, none of the factors can account for the difference between locals and IDPs who reported only leaving due to violence, pointing to the enduring impact of trauma on SWB.

CPC Webinar: 'The impact of grandparenting on late-life depression in England, Europe and China' | Yazhen Yang Youtube. 2021
This CPC webinar was held on Friday 23 July 2021. Dr Yazhen Yang from the Centre for Research on Ageing at the University of Southampton gave a talk entitled 'The impact of grandparenting on late-life depression in England, Europe and China'.
Read the accompanying CPC Policy Briefing 62 'Being a grandparent and depression: how does it differ across England, Europe and China?' at: http://www.cpc.ac.uk/docs/2021_PB62_B...
Abstract: Approximately one billion people in the world's population are grandparents, which makes it crucial to examine the impact of grandparenting on grandparents' health. In this study, we examine the cross-national differences in the effect of grandparenting on older persons' depression in England, Europe and China.
We look to understand the role of providing childcare, grandparents' gender and the national economy. Country fixed effects models and multi-level linear regression analyses with REML estimation were performed covering 15 countries from the ELSA, the SHARE and the CHARLS 2011, 2013 and 2015. The findings show that becoming a grandparent can lessen the effect of depressive symptoms on grandparents in lower income countries. Conversely, in higher income countries, it can worsen depressive symptoms for grandparents. The effect of providing care for grandchildren on grandparents' depression varied by their gender, country and according to the intensity of care provided.
The findings suggest that family and other policies involving older people need to take into account the impact of grandparenting on grandparents' health, and higher income countries in particular should investigate policy instruments that might buffer the negative impact of transitioning to grandparenthood.

CPC Webinar: 'Modelling the socio-economic determinants of fertility' | Maarten Bijlsma Youtube. 2021
This CPC webinar was on Friday 16 July. Maarten Bijlsma, University of Groningen / MPIDR, gave a talk entitled 'Modelling the socio-economic determinants of fertility: a mediation analysis using the parametric g-formula'.
Theories predict that the timing of childbearing and number of children born are determined by multiple socio-economic factors. Despite this, many methods cannot investigate the interrelationships between these determinants, including the direct and indirect influence that they have on fertility over the life course. Here we use the parametric g-formula to examine the interdependent influences of time-varying socio-economic processes-education, employment status and partnership status-on fertility. To demonstrate this approach, we study a cohort of women who were born in the UK in 1970. Our results show that socio-economic processes play an important role in determining fertility, not only directly but also indirectly. We show that increasing attendance in higher education has a largely direct effect on early childbearing up to age 25 years, resulting in a substantial increase in childlessness. However, childbearing at later ages is dominated by an indirect effect of education on fertility, via partnership status and employment status, that is twice as large as the direct effect. We also use the g-formula to ex-amine bias due to unobserved heterogeneity, and we demonstrate that our results appear to be robust. We conclude that the method provides a valuable tool for mediation analysis in studies of interdependent life course processes.

CPC Webinar: Does retirement affect voluntary work provision? | Peter Eibich. Youtube. 2021
This CPC Webinar took place on 18 June 2021.
Voluntary work is an important contribution for many non-profit organizations, such as charities, political and religious organizations. Older individuals make up a sizable share of the volunteer workforce, and volunteering is often regarded as an example of active ageing. In this study, we examine whether retirement has a causal effect on the frequency of voluntary work provision in three English-speaking countries - England, Ireland and the U.S. We draw on data from the ELSA, TILDA and HRS studies and analyse these datasets using a harmonized empirical approach. We use eligibility ages for old age pensions in an instrumental variables estimation to address potential confounding. We find that retirement increases the frequency of voluntary work provision in all three countries, especially among men. This suggests that labour market policies aimed at increasing labour force participation at older ages might have unintended consequences for the size of the volunteer workforce.

CPC Webinar: 'A Bayesian cohort component projection model to estimate adult populations' | Monica Alexander Youtube. 2021
This CPC webinar was held on Friday 16 April at 14:00. Monica Alexander, Statistics and Sociology, University of Toronto gave a talk entitled "A Bayesian cohort component projection model to estimate adult populations at the subnational level."
Title: A Bayesian cohort component projection model to estimate adult populations at the subnational level
Abstract: Accurate estimates of subnational populations are important for policy formulation and monitoring population health indicators. For example, estimates of the number of women of reproductive age are important to understand the population at risk to maternal mortality and unmet need for contraception. However, in many countries, data on population counts are limited and are of poor quality, and so levels and trends subnationally are unclear. We present a Bayesian hierarchical model to estimate adult populations at the subnational level. The model builds on a cohort component projection framework, incorporates census data and estimates from the United Nation's World Population Prospects, and uses characteristic mortality schedules to obtain estimates of population counts and the components of population change. The data required as inputs to the model are minimal and available across a wide range of countries, including most low-income countries. The model is applied to estimate and project populations by county in Kenya for 1979-2020.

CPC Webinar: 'Lifecourse of Place: how environments throughout life can support healthy ageing' | Jamie Pearce Youtube. 2021
This CPC webinar was be held on Thursday 25 March. Jamie Pearce, University of Edinburgh gave a talk entitled "Lifecourse of Place: how environments throughout life can support healthy ageing".
Providing new insights into the how the places we live and grow older can be best designed to support healthy ageing has emerged as an important research and policy priority. Previous work has identified barriers to health and effective functioning for older people, and considered how environments experienced in older age might support people to age well. However, we know little about the aspects of environments experienced throughout life that might support the maintenance of healthy functioning in later life. This study examines how place-based circumstances from childhood through onwards can enhance healthy ageing. More particularly it draws on the "life course of place" to help examine how places evolve over time and what matter at different points in the lifecourse in predicting later life health outcomes. The seminar will describe the development of a dataset that captured the lifetime environmental circumstances (including green space, air pollution and area-level deprivation) of a cohort of older people (participants of the Lothian Birth Cohort 1936) alongside detailed individual-level information, including high quality indicators of healthy ageing. Early results from the study consider the impact of full lifetime exposures to these geographical indicators on indicators of healthy ageing collected through brain imaging, cognitive testing and biomarkers of biological ageing (telomere length and epigenetic clock). In particular, We will examine whether there are (a) critical periods (childhood, early adulthood, adulthood and later adulthood) in which area-level characteristics are particularly important in explaining the later life outcomes, and/or (b) whether the environmental factors accumulate over the lifecourse to affect healthy ageing.

Hill Kulu: Corona deaths from the perspective of a demographer (Hill Kulu: koroonasurmadest rahvastikuteadlase pilguga) Postimees. 2021
Professor Hill Kulu wrote a brief commentary to “Postimees”, the main Estonian newspaper. Estonia and Czech Republic are examples of countries, which had low numbers of deaths from Covid-19 last spring. However, the situation has now changed: currently, the two countries have the highest infection rates in Europe. The aim of the article was to show the number of deaths with a laissez-faire approach to the pandemic. While Estonia experienced 67 deaths from Covid-19 last year (which was even small for a small country), the numbers will soon be in thousands if there is no change in the approach. (Gladly, the Estonian government announced the lockdown on Monday 8th March)

CPC Webinar: 'A new look at the geography of housing careers in Great Britain' | Rory Coulter Youtube. 2021
This CPC webinar was held on Thursday 25 February. Rory Coulter, UCL Department of Geography, presented 'A new look at the geography of housing careers in Great Britain'.
Housing inequality has been a major focus of UK public policy debates during the last decade. Much of the attention has centred on intergenerational disparities and in particular the tendency for recent cohorts of young adults to delay entry into homeownership. However, surprisingly little is known about the geography of housing careers and the ways these may have changed over time.
This presentation introduces ongoing project research examining spatial variation in housing careers across Great Britain. The talk has two dimensions. First, preliminary results from cross-sectional and longitudinal survey analysis will be presented. Second, the talk will report on the process of assembling, validating and analysing a new resource for geographical analysis of migration and housing careers. This is being created by repurposing a range of non-traditional data resources including (a) Electoral and Consumer Register data, (b) commercial data on private lettings from Zoopla and (c) administrative property transactions records compiled by the Land Registry/Registers of Scotland.

Carrying out rapid qualitative research during a pandemic: Emerging lessons from COVID-19
Social scientists have a robust history of contributing to better understandings of and responses to disease outbreaks. The implementation of qualitative research in the context of infectious epidemics, however, continues to lag behind in the delivery, credibility and timeliness of findings when compared to other research designs. The purpose of this seminar is to reflect on our experience of carrying out a study aimed at exploring healthcare delivery in the UK in the context of COVID-19. I will discuss the importance of qualitative data to inform evidence-based public health responses and provide a way forward to research teams who wish to implement similar rapid qualitative studies. I will reflect on the challenges of setting up research teams, obtaining ethical approval, collecting and analysing data in real-time and sharing actionable findings.

CPC Webinar: 'Studying health and migration using social media' | Emilio Zagheni Youtube. 2021
This CPC webinar was held on Thursday 04 February at 12:00 GMT. Emilio Zagheni, Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research and University of Washington, presented "Studying health and migration using social media: tools for survey participant recruitment complement digital trace data".
Passively-collected information about social media users as well as posts and related content have been increasingly used for demographic research related to health and migration. These digital traces, often made available via advertisement platforms, offer new insights into socio-demographic processes, but also have a number of imperfections and limitations. The same advertisement platforms can be used as a tool to rapidly recruit survey participants across countries and to reach hard-to-reach populations. This talk discusses recent work done at MPIDR to complement the two approaches. It concentrates on two main components: (i) assessing cultural assimilation of Mexican immigrants in the US via Facebook data, as well as via a Facebook migration survey that is about to be fielded; (ii) the Covid-19 Health Behavior Survey: an online opt-in survey based on targeted Facebook advertising campaigns across eight countries (Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, United Kingdom, and the United States), that was conducted daily from March 13-August 12, resulting in 144,034 completed questionnaires. This survey collected information on people's health, attitudes, behaviors, and social contacts. The talk discusses methodological approaches to correct for biases and to combine digital trace data with survey estimates, as well as provides initial substantive results from these initiatives.

CPC Webinar: "Developing linkage ready data" | Tom Alexis and Cecilia Macintyre Youtube. 2021
CPC webinar by Tom Alexis and Cecilia Macintyre of the Scottish Government was held on 14 January 2021.
"Developing linkage ready data on Looked After Children for a new data linkage infrastructure in Scotland."
ADR Scotland is a partnership between Scottish Government and Scottish Centre for Administrative Research (SCADR). The partnership is working to enhance the data linkage infrastructure in Scotland to allow the long-term holding of de-identified datasets within a secure location for research and data linkage purposes.
The data acquisition team have produced the longitudinal Looked After Children dataset, which can track an individual's sequence of placements through the care system. This innovative work links eleven years of data, giving an understanding of the possible pathways enabling linkage to other outcomes to better understand this population.
The presentation will outline the work to change of the infrastructure, and the approach to producing a linkage ready dataset, and the accompanying documentation produced to help users and ensure transparency of the process. An important aspect of this is work with partners - local authority, academic and other public bodies - to improve the quality of the data used in this project.

"Utilizing population register data to understand socioeconomic determinants of COVID-19 mortality: The case of Sweden"
As the COVID-19 pandemic enters its second wave, global deaths continue to rise. This holds for countries across Europe, including Sweden which was particularly hard hit in the first wave of the pandemic. Owing to the high quality and coverage of Swedish population register and administrative data, Sweden offers unique possibilities for more in-depth research on the role of different socio-demographic factors in COVID-19 mortality. In our project, we use data on all recorded COVID-19 deaths in Sweden up to May 7 2020 linked to high-quality and accurate individual-level background data from different registers. Using individual-level survival analysis we demonstrate that being male, having less disposable income, a lower education level, not being married, and being an immigrant from a low- or middle-income country all independently predict a higher risk of death from COVID-19. We also observe differences in mortality between people with different household arrangements and work-place characteristics. The main finding is that COVID-19 exerts a disproportionally heavy burden on the more disadvantaged members of society.

CPC Webinar: 'Britain's first demographic transition' | Alice Reid Youtube. 2020
CPC Webinar given by Alice Reid, University of Cambridge on 26 November 2020.
"Britain's first demographic transition: an integrated geography"
This talk will introduce our new ESRC-funded project which aims to re-examine the population history of Great Britain not as the story of as two, or three, separate countries, but as a spectrum of experiences over time and space, providing exciting new perspectives on, and understanding of, the demographic history of these islands. The project is still at an early stage, but builds on a previous project on fertility in Victorian England and Wales, and the talk will provide some results and conclusions from that study including a reappraisal of the decline in fertility during the first demographic transition. The new project incorporates Scottish data as well as considering a wider range of demographic processes, and the presentation will examine the challenges and opportunities of working with historical Scottish micro-data and melding that with the data and results from England and Wales.

This presentation was also the keynote lecture for the "Short course on Agent-based modelling for social research", run by the project team "Bayesian Agent-based Population Studies".
"An agent-based modelling approach to account for social interactions in demography ".
Demographic behaviour cannot be explained and understood in isolation from the social network one is linked to (e.g. Åberg 2003; Montgomery and Casterline 1996). These networks may consist of family members, friends and other peer groups which will have an impact through social learning and social influence on each other. However, the formalisation of such network effects to explain individual demographic behaviour lags behind the empirical evidence or is often simplified in terms of macro-level diffusion mechanisms that do not allow understanding the mechanisms of social network effects from the bottom up. Agent-based models allow to integrate such network effects into models of individual demographic decision processes and to build up the macro-level demographic patterns (e.g. aggregate fertility rates, marriage rates, etc.) from the bottom up.

CPC Webinar: 'Estimating Total Fertility from the Shape of the Age Pyramid' | Carl Schmertmann Youtube. 2020
CPC Webinar: Estimating Total Fertility from the Shape of the Age Pyramid: Bayesian models and applications given by Carl Schmertmann, Professor of Economics at Florida State University and former Editor of Demographic Research, on Friday 23 October at 14:00 BST.
When vital event registration is missing or inadequate, it is possible to approximate a population's total fertility (TFR) from its age-sex distribution. For example, if child mortality is low then TFR is often close to seven times the child/woman ratio (CWR), the number of 0-4 year olds per 15-49-year-old woman. We analyse the formal relationship between CWR and TFR to identify sources of uncertainty in indirect estimates. We construct a Bayesian model for the statistical distribution of TFR conditional on the population's age-sex structure, in which unknown demographic quantities in the standard approximation are parameters with prior distributions. We apply the model to produce first-ever estimates of TFR for several hundred indigenous populations in Brazil.

CPC Webinar: 'Accelerated School-to-Work transition in Britain: Still true?' | Alina Pelikh Youtube. 2020
CPC Webinar: Accelerated School-to-Work transition in Britain: Still true? given by Alina Pelikh, from UCL on 18 June 2020.
This paper investigates whether the British pattern of the transition to adulthood with an early transition from school to work still exists. We apply sequence analysis to combined life histories from the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS) and the Understanding Society study (UKHLS) to gain a holistic picture of how education and employment trajectories of young adults born between 1974 and 1990 in England and Wales differ by birth cohort, gender, and socio-economic background. Next, we investigate how various trajectories lead to inequalities in labour market outcomes in later life. Around half of young people in the sample follow the rapid school-to-work trajectories with around one third of young adults obtaining a higher education degree by age 26. The distinctive British early transition from school to work is still prevalent, although trajectories have become more complex and precarious, in particular among young people from lower socio-economic backgrounds. Yet, the decrease in the direct school-to-work trajectories among the youngest cohort was replaced by the prolonged stay in education and increase in part-time employment. The proportion of university graduates from lower socio-economic backgrounds has increased among the youngest cohort yet remains disproportionally low. Consequently, the chances of being in professional and managerial occupations remain significantly lower among highly educated young people from disadvantaged backgrounds.

CPC Webinar: Domestic labour and the "fertility gap"' | Alyce Raybould Youtube. 2020
In almost all high-income settings, the existence of a fertility gap between stated ideal and actual family size suggests there are impediments to women achieving their childbearing goals. Previous studies have suggested that female domestic burden could be a potential impediment to childbearing: when women are expected to perform both paid and unpaid labour responsibilities without additional support, continued childbearing is made untenable. This presentation explores whether division of domestic labour could help explain the fertility gap, or whether the gap is instead driven by issues of measurement.
I first explore whether domestic division of labour influences childbearing intentions and behaviour through a systematic review of 95 analyses. Despite some variation in findings, I find evidence supporting this theory. However, the review also highlights that studies focusing on the fertility gap at the individual level (typically exploring whether an intention or an ideal for children is realised) have been methodologically weak, confusing different psychological concepts and ignoring that fertility intentions can change over time. To address these shortcomings, I use data from the USA to explore whether women with less domestic burden are more likely to realise an intention for a second child. I then examine whether intentions for a second child become sacrificed after first birth, a time when domestic labour increases and becomes more gendered, using longitudinal data from the UK and USA. I find a steep drop in expected family size among one child individuals after first birth. My future work aims to further disentangle the apparent fertility gap by exploring the correspondence between intentions for a child prior to birth, contraceptive behaviour and wantedness of a child in the USA. In doing so, I hope to tease apart whether the fertility gap is truly the result of impediments to childbearing, or is driven by a lack of coherency between stated intentions to act and subsequent behaviour.

CPC Webinar: 'Time Pressure and Mothers' Health and Well-Being During the Preschool Years' | Belinda Hewitt Youtube. 2020
CPC Webinar: Time Pressure and Mothers' Health and Well-Being During the Preschool Years.
Time pressure is a common experience in dual-earner families, and particularly for working mothers of young children. Work and family obligations exact large allotments of time from mothers, and the time pressure they experience significantly impacts on their health and wellbeing. To date research on time pressure and health has primarily been cross-sectional and conceptualises the relationship as unidirectional and therefore offers limited insights into the reciprocal (i.e. does time pressure influence health and vice versa?) and dynamic processes of time pressure and health over time (i.e. does it improve or get worse?).
This paper uses data from a 5-wave panel study (2012 - 2015) of mothers when their children were aged 6 months - 4 years old and examines the complex relationship between time pressure and mother's health and wellbeing during these intensive pre-school child rearing years. Importantly, we were able to investigate which time demands on mothers - employment, housework or childcare - are most significant for increasing time pressure in the context of health. For partnered mothers we also take into account her report of partner's time contributions to work, childcare and housework hours when predicting mother's perceptions of time pressure.

CPC Seminar: 'Better Health, Higher Fertility?' | Giammarco Alderotti Youtube. 2020
CPC Seminar given by Giammarco Alderotti from the University of Florence on 30th April 2020.Research on the determinants of migrants' fertility has always focused on socio-economic factors (education, employment, integration), producing incomplete and sometimes contradictory evidence. Alongside, the health status of migrants is at the top of many researchers' agenda, since it is a good proxy of the integration process, and because of its implications on national healthcare systems. Despite health status and fertility are among the most important aspects of migrants' lives in the destination country, the extent to which the first influence the second has hardly ever been considered. In this work, we posit that individual health status may in fact play a role in shaping fertility (intentions) among migrant subpopulations, with different implications by gender, and test our assumption on Italian data.

CPC Webinar: Partnering Behavior and Economic Inequality in the UK from a Comparative Perspective given by Dr Diederk Boertien from the Centre for Demographic Studies.
Who partners with whom has become an important question in studies of economic inequality between households. If rich individuals partner with other rich individuals, inequality between households will be higher as compared to a situation where rich persons partner with poor persons. It is therefore not surprising that changes in assortative mating are considered to have increased inequality over time. Despite this widespread belief, empirical evidence supporting this claim is surprisingly mixed.

CPC/CRA Webinar: 'The trajectory & transition of cognitive function amongst older adults in China' | Xiaoting Liu Youtube. 2019
This research investigates the trajectory of cognitive function amongst older people in China over the period of time 2002 to 2014 using the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS) data. The research investigates the existence of the Flynn effect (ie James Flynn, also referred to as the 'secular rise in IQ scores') with respect to cognitive function of older people. That is, that the cognitive function test scores of older people from younger generations are higher than those older people from older generations. In addition, this research estimates the transition of cognitive function for older people using the method of continuous time homogeneous Markov process. The results provide useful evidence for estimates of the demand for long-term care for older people with dementia in China.
Dr Xiaoting Liu is an Associate Professor, in the School of Public Affairs, at Zhejiang University, China. Dr Liu has published within the fields of health insurance, health care reform in China, long-term care, informal care and intergenerational transfers in later life and is a Visiting Fellow in the Centre for Research on Ageing and also collaborates with staff in the ESRC Centre for Population Change.

CPC Seminar: 'Fertility under fundamental uncertainty' | Daniele Vignoli Youtube. 2019
Daniele is Professor of Demography at the University of Florence, and the Principal Investigator of the ERC Consolidator Grant EU-FER, “Economic Uncertainty and Fertility in Europe”. He is Editor-in-Chief of GENUS, Journal of Population Sciences; Scientific Co-Coordinator of the University of Florence Academic Spin-Off VALMONs.r.l; as well as an elected member of the Steering Committee of the Italian Statistical Society (SIS).
In his seminar, he reviews the relationship between economic uncertainty and if and when people have children.
The increasing speed, dynamics, and volatility of globalisation makes it increasingly difficult for individuals to predict and plan their futures. We are seeing an unprecedented level of economic uncertainty, which, he argues, represents the game-changer in contemporary societies and family life. So far, these uncertainties have been operationalised through objective indicators of individuals' labour market situation, and through their subjective perception.
As an alternative to this empirical tradition, Daniele argues that fundamental uncertainty needs to be conceptualised and operationalised, taking into account that people use works of imagination, producing their own “narrative of the future”. Namely, imagined futures embedded in social elements and their interactions.
These personal narratives of the future are anchored in existing cultural and institutional frames, as well as public images produced by the press and social media. The narratives of the future become potent driving forces of people's decisions to have children in spite of uncertainty, irrespective of structural constraints and their subjective perception. The talk ends by offering further research prospects on the topic.

Previously, he was the Director of Research at the Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) in Bonn, Germany. Corrado is currently working within the migration strand of the CPC.
In his seminar, he explores the impact of local-level immigration on the location choices of UK-born residents. The study aims at investigating three questions: a) does an increase in the inflow rate of immigrants causally lead to a displacement of UK-born residents? b) Does displacement increase segregation within a local authority? c) What are the prevalent mechanisms behind displacement, e.g. economic channels (such as labour market and house prices) or non-economic ones (such as attitudes towards immigrants)? To empirically analyse these questions, he matches data from Understanding Society - The UK Household Longitudinal Study with statistics on immigrant inflows in the neighbourhood (middle layer super output area) from the National Insurance number allocations of the Department for Work and Pensions (NINo). The core analysis hinges on panel data fixed effects models.

CPC Seminar: 'Online footprints of family change: A study based on Twitter' | Nicolo Cavalli Youtube. 2019
Nicolņ Cavalli is a DPhil candidate in Sociology working under Professor Francesco Billiari and Professor David Kirk at Nuffield College, University of Oxford. He holds a BA in Politics from the University of Bologna and a MSc in Economics from Bocconi University, Milan. Before joining Nuffield College, Nicolņ worked as journalist, reporting on social issues and political movements from Italy, Greece, Catalunya, California and Peru. His Doctoral Thesis focuses on how intergroup emotional stratification emerged in Europe in times of economic recession.
In his seminar, he demonstrated how his research team have built a large dataset (~5M observations) using the popular micro-blogging platform, Twitter. By analysing self-reported biographical information of Twitter users located in the United States, the researchers have constructed simple State-level indicators for the prevalence of “traditional” versus “modern” family roles. He discussed how the measures correlate spatially to real-world behavioural indices linked to the ideas of Second Demographic Transition and Gender Revolution. They have also analysed specific cultural correlates to self-reported identities, aiming at capturing the heterogeneity of ideas about family that contributes to shaping socio-demographic change. This approach provides an innovative way to map the cultural footprints that underlie family change, updating the Goffmanian research project concerned with the presentation of self in everyday life to the “Internet era”.

CPC Seminar: 'Effects of the perceived sustainability of public pension systems | Jonas Radl Youtube. 2019
CPC Seminar: Effects of the Perceived Sustainability of Public Pension Systems on Social Policy Preferences: Evidence from a Survey Experiment in Germany, Spain and the United States
A growing literature shows that popular attitudes towards public policy reforms are sensitive to issue knowledge. It is also widely believed that well-informed people tend to prefer different policy reforms than ill-informed people. We apply these general insights of public opinion research to the analysis of attitudes towards welfare reform in the wake of demographic ageing. Our study draws on new experimental evidence regarding three advanced democracies with ageing populations - Germany, Spain and United States. Based on newly conducted online surveys of the general population and an experimental approach, we examine how 'hard knowledge' is related to the support for concrete public policy reforms. Specifically, the paper analyzes how information on the financial sustainability of pension systems affects support for various avenues of welfare state reform. The first objective of the project is to ascertain how the random exposure to the treatment - which varies in content across the study countries - shapes attitudes toward social spending, and, in that case, what kinds of outcomes are most strongly affected. By exploiting variation in respondents' prior pension knowledge, our second objective is to find out to what extent measured impacts are driven by priming or information effects, respectively. Finally, we also set out to discover what individual characteristics (age, gender, education) moderate the information effect on policy preferences. The project has important implications for the dynamics of public discourse on welfare reform.

CPC Seminar: 'Why do older people fall in love?' | Anna Rotkirch Youtube. 2018
Rates of divorce, remarriage, cohabitation and dating are rising among the elderly as the second demographic transition is now reshaping old age. This poses interesting new questions about the functions, benefits and costs of post-reproductive pair bonds, both to the individual and to family relations. Yet there is a lack of both empirical data and theoretical understanding about "gray" couple relations. Why do older people fall in love, or out of love? Why do so many women aged 50+ and with a new partner prefer not to marry? How does remarriage affect women's and men's relations to grandchildren?
The talk presents the rationale and first results of a new research on partnership dynamics in old age in Europe, using data from the UN marital database and the longitudinal study Generational Transmissions in Finland.

CPC Seminar: 'Union dissolution, residential mobility and housing in Britain' | Julia Mikolai Youtube. 2018
Julia Mikolai is a Research Fellow at the University of St Andrews. She is currently working on the PartnerLife project (https://partnerlifeproject.org/), a comparative project which explores the interrelationships between partner relationships, residential relocations, and housing in the life course in the UK, Germany, and the Netherlands. Julia holds a PhD in social statistics and demography from the University of Southampton. Her PhD research investigated the intersection of partnership experiences and the transition to motherhood in 16 European countries and the United States using multi-state event history models. Julia's background is in sociology and demography; she studied at Eötvös Lorįnd University, Budapest, at Utrecht University, and at the European Doctoral School of Demography.
Partner relationships, residential relocations and housing are crucial to people's well-being and are known to be connected with each other. However, many aspects of this connection have remained under-researched. In this presentation, Julia aims to fill some of these knowledge gaps by showcasing findings from the PartnerLife project. For example, she shows that separation leads to elevated mobility levels and that the risk of a move remains high even several years after separation in England and Wales. Additionally, she examines housing tenure trajectories of separated men and women in Britain applying sequence analysis to data from the British Household Panel Survey.

CPC Seminar: 'Pension adequacy standards' | Christian Dudel Youtube. 2018
Christian Dudel is a research scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) in Rostock, Germany. He received his PhD in Social Statistics from the University of Bochum. His research interests focus on the modelling of life courses, causal inference and partial identification, inequality measurement, and analysing consequences of demographic change.
In this seminar, Christian proposes a general framework for the estimation of pension adequacy standards. Due to increasing life expectancy pension provisions need to last longer and longer, casting doubt on the financial security of pensioners. Surprisingly, it is unclear what pension level can be considered to be adequate. Applying a range of econometric estimation techniques to data from the U.S., England, and Germany, he finds that a net pension income roughly equal to 100% of the last net working life income can be considered adequate. Sensitivity checks suggest that this finding is robust.

CPC Seminar: 'An agent-based model of sex ratio at birth distortions' | Francisco Villavicencio Youtube. 2018
Francisco Villavicencio is a post-doctoral researcher at the Department of Public Health, University of Southern Denmark. He has a background in Mathematics and Geography, and holds a PhD in Demography. His research interests include the development of methods to deal with sparse demographic data (Bayesian inference, agent-based modeling), mortality, and formal demography. In the last years he has been teaching several courses in R, statistics and mathematics at the University of Southern Denmark and at the European Doctoral School of Demography.
This seminar examines how, since the 1980s and 1990s, a decline in total fertility levels across a number of countries in Asia and the Caucasus has been accompanied by an unprecedented rise in the proportion of male births compared to female births, usually expressed in terms of the sex ratio at birth (SRB). Although the micro-level factors - persistent son preference within a context of fertility decline and growing access to pre-natal sex determination technology - are known, their specific levels, trends and interactions in explaining macro-level SRB trajectories are hard to discern with existing data and approaches. We present an agent-based model (ABM) that examines the contribution of each of these micro-level factors to the emergence of distorted SRBs at the macro-level, and calibrate the model to the South Korean and Indian scenarios.

CPC Seminar: 'The Kids Are Alright: Non-Marital Births & Child Well-being' | Christina Gibson-Davis Youtube. 2017
Academics and policy makers in both the US and the UK have long shown an interest in discussing the rise in the number of children born out of wedlock, hypothesizing that it results in bad outcomes for the children, and by extension, society.
Using six decades of US and UK data, this hypothesis is tested by our speaker, Christina Gibson-Davies, by looking at aggregate trends in the non-marital fertility ratio (NMFR) and child well-being. No evidence is found that an increased NMFR is correlated with increases in aggregate adverse outcomes. Instead, the majority of results suggest that as the NMFR has increased, aggregate child outcomes have improved. Data from three British cohort studies is then used: the National Child Development Study (NCDS); the British Cohort Study (BCS) and the Millennium Cohort Study (MCS), together with US data on birth weight and grade repetition to examine whether the association between marriage and child well-being has diminished over time.
The results of these individual-level analysis suggest that the positive correlations between the NMFR and child well-being for the US and the UK may be driven in part by improved well-being of children born to unmarried parents. Individual-level results do not support the hypothesis that upward trends in aggregate child well-being are being driven by children born to married parents.
Christina concludes that the attention given to the NMFR has likely been overstated, and that given scarce resources, policy makers may wish to direct their attention elsewhere.

CPC Seminar: Modelling Socio-Economic Differences in the Mortality of Danish Males Using a New Affluence Index | Andrew Cairns Youtube. 2016
We investigate and model how the mortality of Danish males aged 55-94 has changed over the period 1985-2012. We divide the population into ten socio-economic subgroups using a new measure of affluence that combines wealth and income reported on the Statistics Denmark national register database. The affluence index, in combination with sub-group lockdown at age 67, is shown to provide consistent sub-group rankings based on crude death rates across all ages and over all years. This improves significantly on previous studies that have focused on the impact of education or income on life expectancy or age-standardised mortality rates. The gap between the most and least affluent is confirmed to be widest at younger ages and has widened over time. We introduce a new multi-population mortality model that fits the historical mortality data very well and captures the essential character of the raw data. The model generates smoothed death rates that allow us to work with a larger number of smaller sub-groups than might be considered realistic when working with raw data. The model produces plausible projections of death rates that preserve the subgroup rankings at all ages. It also satisfies reasonableness criteria related to the term structure of correlations across ages and over time through consideration of future death and survival rates.

Is Welfare the magnet that draws the migrants? Youtube. 2015
This lecture examines evidence that economists call a 'natural experiment': a major policy shock that allows a comparison of people who were affected with people who were not. The lecture focuses on how the 2001 removal of labour market-related social security eligibility affected New Zealand migrants to Australia. UK migrants to Australia, who were not affected by the policy changes, provide a 'control group'. New Zealand migrants arriving after the policy changes were more likely to visit their home country temporarily, or return permanently. Implications of this finding for the case of the European Union will be explored.
