The Distribution of Reproduction during a Fertility Transition
Demographers have a rich understanding of the fertility transitions that have been observed in many contexts. Yet, we lack evidence to explain whether long‐run declines in fertility levels are accompanied by simultaneous changes in reproductive variability. This is important because reproductive variability—the concentration and dispersion of childbearing—may help to better explain fertility trends and predict population change. We address this g…
The Childbearing of Immigrants Who Arrived as Children
It is well-known that childbearing is associated with age at migration, but most research has focused on foreign-born women who migrated as adults. Much less is known about male immigrants or immigrants who arrived as children, despite the importance of studying these groups to understand theories of adaptation and socialization. This study addresses these gaps with a case study of Sweden, using longitudinal whole-population data to analyze the r…
Parental age gaps among immigrants and their descendants
Age gaps between partners have undergone dramatic changes in high-income countries over the past century. Yet, there has been little focus on age gaps for immigrants and their descendants. This is an important omission because age gaps can be interpreted as a macro-level indicator of intergenerational adaptation. We examine the age gaps of biological parents (childbearing partners) among immigrants and their descendants in Sweden, a country with …
Social inequalities experienced by children of immigrants across multiple domains of life
It is well known that children of immigrants experience inequality. Less is known about how inequalities compare across multiple life domains and multiple generations. We conduct a case study of England and Wales, focussing on children of Caribbean immigrants (the ‘Windrush generation’). We use large-scale census data to compare inequalities across five domains of life—education, employment, occupation, housing, and health—separately for women an…
Forced Migration and the Childbearing of Women and Men
It is well known that migrant fertility is associated with age at migration, but little is known about this relationship for forced migrants. We study an example of displacement in which the entire population of Finnish Karelia was forced to move elsewhere in Finland in the 1940s. This displacement was unique because of its size and scale, because we have data on almost the whole population of both men and women who moved, and because of the simi…
Age variations and population over-coverage
The migrant mortality advantage has been observed extensively, but its authenticity is debated. In particular, concerns persist that the advantage is an artefact of the data, generated by the problems of recording mobility among foreign-born populations. Here, we build on the intersection of two recent developments: the first showing substantial age variation in the advantage-a deep U-shaped advantage at peak migration ages-and the second showing…
Educational Differences in Cohort Fertility Across Sub-national Regions in Europe
Educational differences in female cohort fertility vary strongly across high-income countries and over time, but knowledge about how educational fertility differentials play out at the sub-national regional level is limited. Examining these sub-national regional patterns might improve our understanding of national patterns, as regionally varying contextual conditions may affect fertility. This study provides for the first time for a large number …
The Fertility of Immigrants From Low-Fertility Settings
Immigrant women who have lived longer in a destination often have relatively low levels of fertility, which is sometimes taken as evidence of the adaptation of behavior. This evidence is almost exclusively based on studies of immigrants from high-fertility settings, while the fertility of immigrants from low-fertility settings has been largely overlooked. Research has also rarely studied the fertility of immigrants who migrated as children, despi…
Measuring vulnerability of asylum seekers and refugees in Italy
In recent years, a growing number of forced migrants have travelled to Italy across the Mediterranean Sea. While the number of new arrivals has diminished since 2017, the Italian reception system still struggles to process the high number of applications for international protection. A significant proportion of forced migrants who arrive in Italy end up living in informal settlements, such as occupied buildings, shacks, containers and tented camp…
The socioeconomic dynamics of trends in female genital mutilation/cutting across Africa
BACKGROUND: The majority of women who undergo female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) live in Africa. Although the UN Sustainable Development Goals call for intensified efforts to accelerate the abandonment of FGM/C, little is known about where in Africa the declines in prevalence have been fastest and whether changes in prevalence differ by women's socioeconomic status. METHODS: We use data from Demographic and Health Surveys and Multiple Indi…
Symbolic efficiency in ultra marathons
Nowadays the high physical and psychological demands of ultra marathons have not prevented this type of races from becoming popular and an important way to demonstrate authenticity in personal work. Through the ethnographic work, the historical review and practical experience in two competitions, such as the Ultra Sierra Nevada of Granada and 101 km. In 24 h. of Ronda, we show significant evidence to understand how and to what extent, through the…
Regional trajectories in life expectancy and lifespan variation
An important dimension of inequality in mortality is regional variation. However, studies that investigate regional mortality patterns within and between national and regional borders are rare. We carry out a comparative study of Finland and Sweden: two welfare states that share many attributes, with one exception being their mortality trajectories. Although Finland has risen rapidly in the global life expectancy rankings, Sweden has lost its his…
Understanding How Immigrant Fertility Differentials Vary over the Reproductive Life Course
Studies of immigrant fertility differentials indicate that foreign-born women have more children than native-born women, at least for some origin groups. Yet little is known about variation in cumulative fertility differentials over the life course, including the extent to which this variation develops into completed fertility differentials. This research responds with an analysis of cumulative fertility differentials in the UK for a cohort of wo…

Residential segregation and the fertility of immigrants and their descendants
Measures of community population composition, such as residential segregation, are important theoretical mechanisms that have the potential to explain differences in fertility between immigrants, their descendants, and destination natives. However, only a handful of studies explore these mechanisms, and most are limited by the fact that they carry out cross‐sectional analysis. This study proposes a new approach, which focuses on community composi…
The Appeal of Horror
The spectral luminescence of a man's face reverberates in the dark, hovering above the gold charger into which spirals of his hair pool (Fig. 1). To the left a small reed cross identifies John the Baptist, whose open mouth, aligned with the cut of his neck, evokes the connection between his voice and his death. The halo to the right echoes the illuminated rim on which drops of blood glisten, drips that retain the memory of an earlier moment when …
