Breakthroughs to improve health and well-being for women and […]
Over the course of the twentieth century, fertility intentions, desires, preferences, and attitudes (fertility “goals”) became key constructs for demographic research on fertility. In high-fertility contexts, unwanted births and unmet need for contraception serve as a justification for intensifying family planning programs. In low-fertility contexts, desired fertility exceeds actual fertility, implying high prevalence of “unrealized […]

Zach Ward, Associate Professor of Economics, Baylor University Social mobility over multiple generations is often lower than predicted by two-generational data, suggesting that traditional estimates fail to capture long-run mobility. Using novel US data (1850-1940) that links over 1.7 million individuals across four generations, we find that the economic status of great-grandchildren is strongly tied […]
Demography Seminar (DemSem) Presented by Rahi Abouk (CDE Visiting Scholar; William Paterson University).

Lauren Gaydosh, Associate Professor of Sociology, UNC Chapel Hill Many of the biological measures that we use to interrogate health risks have been developed in samples of older adults. Their association with sociodemographic characteristics and prediction of health and aging outcomes earlier in the life course is understudied. In this talk, I will provide an […]
Population Research Discovery Seminar Daniel Parker, Population Health & Disease Prevention, University of California Irvine Quantifying armed conflict is challenging, as traditional conflict data often rely on incomplete reporting and typically focus on metrics like the number of airstrikes. However, these measures overlook critical factors such as infrastructure destruction, population displacement, and recovery. In this […]
Presented by Jinkook Lee (USC).
We study the lifetime banning, as introduced by United States Public Law 104-193, of individuals convicted of felony drug offenses after August 22, 1996 from ever receiving future SNAP benefits. Using a regression discontinuity design that leverages CJARS criminal history records with federal administrative and survey data, we estimate the causal impact of safety net […]
