    New issue of Changing Populations out now

    The latest issue of the CPC-CG newsletter magazine, Changing Populations, is now published.

    In this issue, we report on our collaborative work with the Resolution Foundation, which explores how family support and homeownership trends are shaping economic prospects and deepening inequalities in the UK.

    We examine the financial and employment pressures on informal carers, with our members' research highlighting the growing incompatibility of social care cuts with extended working lives and the increasing burden on lone parents and women.

    Discover shifting UK population trends, including record-low birth rates, the role of migration in sustaining growth, and the societal impacts of an ageing demographic. Our members have been active in the media and at events providing key insights into these patterns and their long-term implications. They are also contributing their expertise to projects such as the RIBA Horizons 2034 programme, which examines how design professionals can support diverse and intergenerational communities.

    Learn about groundbreaking research findings from two recently published studies revealing the connections between genetics, health, and life outcomes, showing the role of our DNA in reproductive health, longevity, career aspirations, and socioeconomic mobility. We also cover research linking long-term air pollution exposure to an increased risk of hospital admissions for both mental/behavioural and physical illnesses, alongside a report that has, for the first time, collated data to illustrate ethnic inequalities in bereavement experiences during the Covid-19 pandemic.

    We also highlight new resources and tools for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers, including an interdisciplinary book on migration forecasting, a platform for analysing socioeconomic inequalities, and ‘serious games’ designed to address challenges in ageing and housing.

    And finally, you can find out more about our team and their achievements in the researcher spotlight, along with links to our latest webinar recordings in case you missed them.
