🚨New MigrantLife paper published today in @demresjournal.bsky.social using #machinelearning to identify the most important predictors of #migrant #fertility and #parity progression in #France!
Delaporte, Kulu & Ibbetson apply random survival forest (RSF) to longitudinal data from the Trajectories and Origins survey to analyse the predictors of having a first, second, and third birth among immigrants and their descendants in France.

The final presentation was delivered by @sarahchristison.bsky.social who looked at #housing, #partnership & #fertility of immigrants & descendants in the #UK. Births were most likely for homeowners & homeownership entry is heterogenous regardless of partnership which may suggest disadvantage.

@maryabedalahad.bsky.social jumped from France to #Sweden to look at #homeownership, #marriage & #childbirth among #immigrants & their #descendants. She shows greater life event convergence to the Swedish natives across migrant generations & the importance of homeownership for other life events.

@jharrison37.bsky.social is next presenting his work on #births, #partnerships & residential #mobility of #immigrants & #descendants in #France! He shows that African immigrants exhibit higher event intensity, some fertility convergence across generations & that residential barriers persist.
