Loneliness has a demographic footprint. The new essay from @hpa_passarelli outlines how relational disconnection interacts with mortality, fertility, and migration – and why it matters for understanding population change. Check it out!

Adding to #Japan's demographic woes, the Chinese year that starts on 17 February is a year of the Iron Horse. The last one, in 1966, saw nativity drop by one quarter in Japan.

Because according to traditional belief, women born in such a year are stubborn and angry by nature, so many people avoid timing births in such a year.

New video: Watch Ayse Guveli from the University of #Warwick in our #CPCCGWebinar from last week. She discussed the 2000 #Families and The Third Generation projects which aim to reveal the consequences and the long-term impact of #migration on #migrants from Turkey and on their three #generation #descendants by comparing them to their non-migrant counterparts in #Turkey:

CPC-CG's Bernice Kuang, a research fellow in #demography at the University of #Southampton, claimed #Londoners still wanted to have an average of two #children, but that this was not feasible for many in the #capital.

She blamed a shift from #socialhousing to private #renting in inner #London, adding that "private rented accommodation is not seen as the place to start a #family".

Feminicide is reshaping Mexico’s demographic future. Between 2000 and 2019, nearly 50,000 women were murdered. Study by @itzeldiazj & Victor Garcia-Guerrero shows that eliminating these gender-based killings could raise women’s life expectancy at birth by up to five years. #Feminicide #Mexico #Demography #GenderViolence
