Many thanks to my amazing supervisors and co-authors Y. Vierboom, M. Evans, @jmikolai.bsky.social, H. Kulu, and M. Myrskylä. Special thanks as well to the @imprs-phds.bsky.social and @cpc-cg.bsky.social for the support!

Amid welfare retrenchment in many countries, the findings of this study point to the importance of centering family networks, home-based care, and ageing in place in discussions of residential (im)mobilities in later life.

Population ageing raises the question of where and with whom people live as they grow older. We find that the answers can be different but also in many ways similar for parents and childless adults, especially when they face physiological health challenges.

Hot off the press 🔥 My first PhD chapter is now published as a research article in Population, Space and Place! @mpidr.bsky.social @phrg-standrews.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

“ #Pronatalist policies are ‘impotent’ in budging long-term #fertility rates. The root problems are #economic uncertainty, #housing, #childcare, and household gender inequality,” says CG Co-Director @melindacmills.bsky.social in @telegraphnews.bsky.social www.telegraph.co.uk/global-healt...

📕 New paper by @vincentrramos.bsky.social Examines #childbearing decisions in societies experiencing #birthrate decline - how might worries about #caring for #ageing parents and job insecurity affect expectations of starting a #family? @populationeu.bsky.social link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Great to see so many excited early career researchers #ECR at #BSPS25 @bspsuk.bsky.social last week! Was the most packed session I attended!

📕 NEW @migrantlife.bsky.social paper by @jmikolai.bsky.social and Hill Kulu, published in Advances in Life Course Research Investigates how #partnership, #fertility, and #employment changes interact in the lives of #immigrants’ descendants in the UK: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

CPC-CG members @jackiewahba.bsky.social and Athina Vlachantoni announced as #REF Panel members for Sub-panel 16: Economics and Econometrics and Sub-panel 20: Social Work and Social Policy respectively, joining CPC-CG Director @janefalkingham.bsky.social who is Chair of Main Panel C – Social Sciences

Check out the upcoming events in the @femquant.bsky.social online seminar series, bringing together researchers from across the #socialsciences who explore the combination of #feminist research commitments and #quantitative research methods ⬇️ @bspsuk.bsky.social @populationeu.bsky.social

Heading home following two fantastic weeks of sharing ideas, convening sessions and discussing research at #RGSIBG2025 in B’ham and #BSPS2025 in Swansea alongside colleagues from @cpc-cg.bsky.social and @uniofstandrews.bsky.social

We ♥️ #BSPS2025 - thanks @bspsuk.bsky.social! Just some of the great talks: Hale on racism & loneliness in UK Asian communities; Finney on EVENS; Butterick on kin number probabilities; Li on intergenerational proximity; Lyu on parental support & homeownership; Nur on childlessness & kinlessness 👏👏

I am so happy to have presented in two sessions at #BSPS2025 conference on Life course trajectories of descendants of immigrants in Sweden and on Life satisfaction, health and air pollution. @bspsuk.bsky.social @cpc-cg.bsky.social @phrg-standrews.bsky.social @migrantlife.bsky.social

📌 New opportunity to work with @migrantlife.bsky.social and CPC-CG @standrewssgsd.bsky.social Post-doctoral #ResearchFellow to work on #family and #housing projections using #microsimulation Apply by 1 October #poptwitter: www.vacancies.st-andrews.ac.uk/Vacancies/W/... @bspsuk.bsky.social

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.

@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.

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

At #BSPS2025, CPC-CG member Dr Jo Mhairi Hale provided useful practical tips on navigating #PhDs/#postdocs, as well as how to take advantage of training and opportunities. The session was co-organised with Rachel Wilkie and Alice Butler-Warke as part of the CPC-CG #ECR network @bspsuk.bsky.social

@parthpandya.bsky.social kicks off MigrantLife presentations at @bspsuk.bsky.social Conference 2025! They presented on #UK #residentialmobility and its link to #household characteristics specifically household #income and #partnership status.

I had the priviledge of chairing the session on life course of Immigrants regarding education and employment with four wonderful presenters at the British Society for Population Studies conference @bspsuk.bsky.social @parthpandya.bsky.social @secoyorke.bsky.social @phrg-standrews.bsky.social
