“ #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
