@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.

Happy BSPS week to all those who celebrate. My office for the afternoon is a table seat on the Transport to Wales service en route to Swansea.

Looking forward to catching up with everyone there!

This was a lot of fun to record. If anyone wants to listen to me talk about immigrant morality and cancer using the England and Wales Longitudinal Study - here is your chance!
