Sharing our work

CPC members have been busy participating in a number of international conferences, both online and returning to in-person events.

Attending the Population Association of America Conference from 7-9 April, CPC members met with other demographers and social and health scientists from the United States and internationally to present their research in oral and poster sessions, hear others’ findings, and network with their peers. They presented on subjects including inequalities in multimorbidity, nonstandard work schedules and parental mental health, cognitive impairment, family formation and fertility levels for immigrants in Europe, parental time investments, women’s economic empowerment and children’s school outcomes, fertility decline in eastern Ukraine, and Covid-19 fertility responses.

From 9-11 June, members attended the 22nd Nordic Demographic Symposium which was held in Oslo. The fertility and family team presented on topics such as fertility forecasting, patterns of childlessness, family formation and fertility levels for immigrants in Europe, family complexity and young children’s mental health, fertility trends in Scotland and socioeconomic attainment of only children.

The European Population Conference from 30 June to 2 July, hosted in Groningen in collaboration with the Netherlands Interdisciplinary Demographic Institute (NIDI-KNAW) and the University of Groningen, was the first hybrid conference of the European Association of Population Studies (EAPS). CPC members presented on subjects such as mortality under-registration, cumulative reproductive life histories and grip strength, the effect of air pollution on general and mental health, bilateral migration flows, and young Briton’s family expectations.

In September, our members are due to present at the British Society for Population Studies Conference in Winchester. For full details of our involvement in upcoming events and conferences, please visit: www.cpc.ac.uk/news/latest_ news
