Research
Our research examines the social consequences of demographic change. We focus on the changing demography and social stratification of family formation and dissolution, inter- and intragenerational relationships, health, and ageing.
Examples from recent years include studies of gender differences in the consequences of divorce, changing sibling relationships after parents’ death, cumulative (dis)advantage of education for health, fertility contagion in the family and at the workplace, and the changing demography of grandparenthood.
Our work is based on the quantitative analysis of data from longitudinal and cross-national surveys, national registers, and genealogical sources. All researchers are committed to open science. Please see our pages for further information and replication packages to our studies.
