In “Blurring the Marriage Market? Contemporary Patterns of Multiracial Marriage,” @aarongullickson.bsky.social & J. Bratter find that “shared Black ancestry is the most predictive of union formation” and shared Indigenous ancestry the least. @uoregon.bsky.social read.dukeupress.edu/demography/a...

It’s a common misconception that life expectancy has increased only because fewer children die. Historical mortality records show that adults today also live much longer than adults in the past.

La importancia de entender que los datos son capitales políticos y estructuras no-neutras.

📢 #episki #mortality 📈 #Chile #HMD series updated through 2024 Full life tables & data ➡️ mortality.org In 2023 Chile reattained its highest longevity since 2019. However, by 2024 life expectancy estimates showed a minor decline at most ages, except for a meagre 0.07-year increase at birth for ♂️.

🎉 New Year, new paper out! With Claudio Dávila Cervantes, we analyze homicide mortality across 2,469 Mexican municipalities in 2020, framing lethal violence as a public health issue and highlighting its deep spatial and social inequalities. authors.elsevier.com/a/1mO-W7bKCA...

"This was definitely not well-documented, not much attention has been paid to it," the study's lead author told me. A Norwegian demographer put it more bluntly: "I've been screaming that we need more research about men for the last 20 years." (2/3)

The rich are responsible for an outsized share of carbon emissions — the top 10% account for 48%. And the gap is growing. Since 1990, the richest 1% have increased their share of emissions by 13%, while the poorest 50% have seen theirs fall by 3%.

At Our World in Data, we spend much of our time counting deaths. But it’s just as important to know the number of lives saved — even though it is harder to estimate and involves much larger uncertainty. My Data Insight today includes this chart of some estimates.

Hello #dataBS (& especially #TidyTuesday) fam! I'm trying to organize a thing to help me keep TidyTuesday running smoothly, but first I need to get a bit of a runway. Every week I curate a TT dataset, and it's wearing me down. Please see github.com/rfordatascie... for some ways you can help! #RStats

Lina María Sanchez-Cespedes presents a simple method to adjust model life tables to estimate mortality curves with excess mortality and their backward projections. It enables the estimation of the decrease in life expectancy due to external causes. www.demographic-research.org/articles/vol...
