Paper by Cozzani et al. explores a possible mechanism underlying ART birth disparities & highlights that these disparities do not appear to arise from treatment success, at least when treatments are performed in widely subsidized public context in Italy. www.demographic-research.org/articles/vol...

A simple model for estimating the age and sex profiles of net international migration is developed in this paper. The model can be applied to any country situation, with or without data, or modified to incorporate new data or assumptions. www.demographic-research.org/articles/vol...

New study maps China's fertility ideals and intentions: Ideals show north-south cultural split, intentions reveal coastal-inland economic divide. Local variation is key. #Fertility #China www.demographic-research.org/articles/vol...

Distinct time use patterns of adolescents from Japan, Korea, UK, and Finland across 3 decades. Persistent gender gaps in East Asia reflect persistent adult gender inequality, but gender gaps are not necessarily smaller in more gender equal societies. www.demographic-research.org/articles/vol...

“We explore how transitions from cohabitation to marriage affected working time and income in Europe in the 1990s, as cohabitation was emerging. We find a widening gender gap since women worked less after marrying, even if cohabiting before.”

A new paper shows how an innovative ‘data-linked explanatory analysis’ using surveys and life history interviews can be used to help account for population-level patterns in studies using person-centered techniques to understand health behaviors. www.demographic-research.org/articles/vol...

Does self-selection into migration impact fertility differentials between migrants and stayers? Not necessarily. Polish migrants in the Netherlands have lower fertility even when socio-demographic differentials are controlled for.

Polish women’s fertility in the Netherlands surges post-migration, especially for family migrants, but drops after four years. Tempo distortions mask varied childbearing patterns, most evident for those moving in peak reproductive years.

Europeans perceived non-traditional families as less favourable to child’s well-being but two thirds view same-sex and step families as comparable to mother-and-father family. Women are more open to alternative family forms than men. www.demographic-research.org/articles/vol...

"Using an intersectional life course approach & multi-channel sequence analysis we show that family and employment are mutually supportive life domains among migrant men, whilst they are competing and often incompatible among migrant women." www.demographic-research.org/articles/vol...

Hidden population heterogeneity: Using highly stratified neonatal cohort lifetables @jschoeley.com shows how mortality selection acts on the observed distribution of frailties and provides a test for the selection hypothesis of "ontogenescence". www.demographic-research.org/articles/vol...
