People with more education live significantly longer - even in countries where official records are incomplete. Paper: doi.org/10.4054/DemR... 1. Higher levels of education consistently linked to longer life expectancy 2. In some countries, the gap between education levels exceeds a decade of life

🐣 Earlier this month, with Afua Durowaa-Boateng and @anne-goujon.bsky.social we published our extended education- and age-specific fertility estimates in Scientific Data 🚼 We combined DHS data and UN ASFR to create a harmonized dataset. ➡️ lnkd.in/gxbXT9dh @iiasa.ac.at @demographyvienna.bsky.social

So excited to see this out!🎉 With Andrea Tamburini and Arkadiusz Wisniowski we integrated Eurostat, DHS, UN and WIC data to estimate education-specific mortality in 13 countries☠️@demographyvienna.bsky.social @iiasa.ac.at @oeaw.bsky.social @socialstats.bsky.social
