British Society of Population Studies (BSPS) Conference 2018: Roundup
We were delighted to attend the British Society of Population Studies (BSPS) Conference, at Winchester University, in September 2018.
CPC members coordinated several of the academic strands, and gave over 22 presentations across three days.
CPC members are looking forward to discussing their latest research at the @bspsUK conference; follow for live tweets #bsps2018. @FalkinghamJane @ESRC @UoS_FSHMS @UoSSocStatDemo @StAndrewsCHR @univofstandrews https://t.co/vg0IBByMGu

The conference topics explored areas aligned with CPC core research aims such as demography, inequality and social policy. We learned about worrying trends in mortality from Danny Dorling, and Renske Keizer illustrated the difference in parental approaches to unstructured play with their children, during the plenary sessions. CPC Academic Athina Vlachantoni highlighted that the unmet need for social care in England is a complex but critical policy priority, and research student Kate Heap showed us that it is easy to see that teenage fertility rates in the UK are dropping – but it is less easy to determine why.
From family planning and social care needs, to examining families and households across the generations both in the UK and abroad, many CPC members presented on topics related to their published work, which can be found below organised by conference strand:
