Youth, Families, and Social Mobility
The research area of Youth, Families, and Social Mobility at HCPDS focuses on a diverse set of questions, largely geared toward the better understanding of and improvements in the well-being of marginalized populations. Our affiliated faculty focus on youth and families across the globe, and work to advance knowledge related to social mobility. This work is focused on maternal health and child health, early-life outcomes, causes and consequences of family and gender inequality, and class and socio-economic mobility.
Social Demography Seminar Series
Since 2016, HCPDS has been sponsoring the Social Demography Seminar series, a lively forum that brings together a diverse intellectual community including faculty, fellows, researchers, and students from different schools and departments (and since it became a hybrid series in 2021, from different universities as well) who work on research questions related to population health and composition, social relations, and social inequalities. Sociologists, epidemiologists, economists, and public policy experts gather (either in person at HCPDS or via Zoom) on a weekly basis to attend a seminar led by a guest speaker who disseminates research on the measurement of social processes (e.g., racism, gender systems, family processes) related to population dynamics (e.g., fertility, migration, mortality).
