🚨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.

Our previous team member @ischiathere.bsky.social & Nissa Finney contributed to a @bspsuk.bsky.social panel on future research on the #children of #immigrants! The panel discussed data gaps, specific themes/theories related to their unique societal status, methodologies & interdisciplinarity.

Great day #BSPS2025, incl. @migrantlife.bsky.social's Baek on #fertility & #employment of UK women with #migrant backgrounds; Harrison & @maryabedalahad.bsky.social on migrants' life events in France & Sweden; @sarahchristison.bsky.social on UK family & housing transitions by migrant group & origin
September 3, 2025 at 1:48 PM
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.
September 3, 2025 at 9:27 AM
@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.
September 3, 2025 at 9:11 AM
@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.
September 3, 2025 at 8:51 AM
@jiseonbaek.bsky.social presented her PhD work on the #fertility & #employment link for #immigrants & #descendants in the #UK. She shows with #multiprocess modelling that we underestimate #childbearing for various migrant groups & its implications on how we view their childbearing & #career paths.
