New CPC newsletter, Changing Populations, now available

The latest edition of the CPC newsletter magazine, Changing Populations, is now published.

In this edition, you can read about how our researchers have been pivoting their work to focus on the Covid-19 pandemic. How are lockdowns affecting families? There have been some positive outcomes with families having the opportunity to get closer, while others have experienced more stress and sleeplessness. Alongside Covid-19, our research has also been responding to societal changes due to Brexit. In November, in preparation for the UK leaving the European Union and the UK’s changing immigration policies, we took CPC migration research to the UK Parliament.

With events and activities now almost exclusively happening online, we also showcase an example of a successful transfer to online learning with our training course on the most recent advances in building, analysing and documenting agent-based models of social processes. We discuss global fertility, alongside UK trends in parents’ partnership status when having babies, gender attitudes and practices among married and cohabiting parents, and declining teenage pregnancy rates. We also shine the spotlight on some of our researchers and new starters. We hope you enjoy reading it and we welcome your feedback and questions about our research.
