Congratulations to Dr Francesco Rampazzo, Lecturer in Demography at the Leverhulme Centre for Demographic Science, who has received an honourable mention for the Italian Society of Statistics’ (Società Italiana di Statistica) award for best thesis in demography.
A new Population Studies paper by Emeritus Professor of Family Demography John Ermisch from Oxford’s Leverhulme Centre for Demographic Science finds that women across all educational groups had fewer children and later on in life.
An innovative study published today in Science Advances finds that baseball and basketball players whose athletic skills peaked earlier or declined faster had significantly shorter lifespans. Those who peaked earlier had a 1.2 year shorter adult life expectancy whilst those who maintained athletic performance for longer had an 0.8 year higher life expectancy, according to the study by Dr Saul Newman from Oxford’s Leverhulme Centre for Demographic Science.
We are looking forward to Alison Buttenheim’s visit to the Leverhulme Centre for Demographic Science at the end of this month. During her visit, Alison will give a talk on whether behavioural economics boosted COVID-19 vaccine acceptance, using evidence and insights from WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrial, Rich, and Democratic) and LMIC countries.
Join Jonas Schöley from the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) for a Leverhulme Centre for Demographic Science Seminar on the phenomenon of the "birth hump", the excess risk of death associated with the transition of birth.
