Large interest in the poster on entrance of Syrians in the Austrian labour market by Bernhard Rengs at #WIC2025

💡New paper out! Together with @marilianep.bsky.social and Cássio Turra, we show that using gender gaps in healthy life expectancy as a metric for gender inequality in health is misleading, masking important underlying gender differences in health and mortality. bmjopen.bmj.com/content/15/1...

This graph never fails to be shocking: "The US has experienced the earliest and greatest slowdown in life expectancy improvements among higher-income countries, reported Eileen Crimmins. “We have horrible life expectancy—and it’s getting worse and worse”" www.prb.org/resources/se...

Health demographers 📣 Calling for submissions to our w. @timriffe1.bsky.social Healthy Life Expectancy methodology collection on @genus.bsky.social! We're seeking innovative approaches to statistical modelling and empirical analysis of health inequalities 📈 📆 Submission deadline: 01/06/26 🔗 Link 👇

Recalling that COVID still ranks in the top 10 causes of death in the US since 2023, while it ranked third in 2021-2022! So it had not only an important impact during the height of the pandemic, but it also remained a leading cause of death overall thereafter.

It his me hard in the emergency doctor feels as well. I’d never seen so many healthy 30 something’s struggling to breathe since the pre-vaccine pandemic.

Is low fertility a problem?

Beautiful paper by Emmanuel Idohou, together with Philippe Bocquier, and Michel Guillot on the role of parental origin in explaining the significant disparities that immigrant children in France face in terms of their survival. Super relevant (with sad results) work!

📊🔎Indirect estimations show that Roma and Travellers experience an extraordinary disadvantage in terms of #lifeexpectancy, according to data from 17 European countries by @fra.europa.eu Forthcoming at tinyurl.com/VID-WP Check also the other @demographyvienna.bsky.social WPs! #IPC2025 #demography

The University of Florence offers 4 positions within the PhD in Life Course Research! 🔹 3 open positions on topics such as social demography, family formation, fertility, union dissolution, ageing & wellbeing 🔹 1 thematic position on reproductive health & low fertility Come join us in Florence! 👇👇

This #Debate from @vypr.bsky.social demonstrates how looking into national-level data can obscure important internal diversity for some population characteristics. This goes in hand with all recent debate in #demography that we should move beyond averages and include more heterogeneity.📈

When people talk about other people not having "enough" children, remember that fertility rates have been roughly this low in much of Europe since the 1970s *and* some European countries had rates below 2 in the 1920s and 30s! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

It´s happening and @hggaddy.bsky.social is discussing, among other issues, how temporal disaggregation for time series analysis of mortality is a solution for a need for spatial disaggregation - which creates death toll underestimation!

Great work!!! On my reading list asap ❤️

New paper on how to calculate a multistate death distribution! What's that, you ask? Usually, we plot a death distribution by age at death. But age at death is the sum of our time spent in different states. If we split time between being healthy or not, then the distribution is multistate (1/3)

Good morning Demographers and actuaries! HMD is now here!

2023-2024 has been intense!. Full of rejections, but also acceptances. Moved from Vienna to Brazil to accept a professorship at my alma mater AND welcomed this beautiful little one!! 🥰 time teaches us to be graceful with challenges and just ride the wave! new email: [email protected]
