Our article (with @mussino.bsky.social @etrappolini.bsky.social @alderotti.bsky.social & Cristina Giudici) is out in Eur J Popul 🎉 We explore how unmet childcare needs shape mothers’ fertility intentions and behaviours in Italy, across native and migrant backgrounds. 📖 doi.org/10.1007/s106...

The COVID-19 pandemic was mainly a health crisis, but it also caused big problems for people's jobs, money, and daily lives. People may have changed their plans during this time, like delaying having children. Migrants were hit harder by the pandemic compared to Swedish-born people.

Migrants from low-income countries living in care settings in Sweden were more likely to die from Covid-19 than natives. The finding stands out, since elderly migrants in daily care usually have higher life expectancy than Swedish-born individuals in similar circumstances. doi.org/10.1093/eurp...

Finally Professor!

Let's start @eaps.bsky.social

....we are almost ready! Looking forward to our workshop in Bari @eaps.bsky.social @lisakkraus.bsky.social @nadjamilewski #migrantfertility

New #PopDigest! Do partners always see family planning the same way? A new study using @ggp.bsky.social data by @mussino.eu and Caroline Uggla suggests: not always—especially when their migration backgrounds differ. 🔗 tinyurl.com/4ztcn727

In Sweden most couples agreed not to have a(nother)child—consistent with record-low birth rates. Yet, the dynamics differed by couple composition: migrant couples were the most in sync about their fertility plans, native couples were in the middle, and native-migrant couples were the most divided.

Persistent minimizing of the COVID death toll hits me especially hard in the #demography feels. To be clear: ➡️ Over one million Americans died of COVID-19. ➡️ Official COVID deaths were likely undercounted, not overcounted. jenndowd.substack.com/p/how-many-p...

Bologna is calling

First day!

OMG 20 years! Time to celebrate

Very interesting

Well done, Doctor Hesmati !!! @soljuarez.bsky.social @ki.se

Great discussion! @ki.se @soljuarez.bsky.social

Let the show begin @ki.se

Inspiring presentation by Professor @annasarkadi @uppsalauniversity.bsky.social @ki.se on how social researchers should take responsibility and evaluate social policies.

"We argue that population membership by itself does not determine risks or response to intervention; rather, it is the confluence of genetic, environmental, sociocultural and policy factors that are causal and should be identified" link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Relax

📢 Coercive policies like baby bonuses or fertility targets won't fix falling birth rates. People need help overcoming the barriers to parenthood they face. Let @unfpa.org—the #UnitedNations sexual and reproductive health agency—explain ➡️ unf.pa/rfc #TheRealFertilityCrisis

Very clear and inspiring presentation as usual from Tomáš Sobotka #NDS2025
