Two-dimensional contour decomposition: Decomposing mortality differences into initial difference and trend components by age and cause of death (by Dmitri Jdanov, Domantas Jasilionis, Vladimir Shkolnikov) Demographic Research (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2024-06-04 Dmitri Jdanov, Domantas Jasilionis, Vladimir Shkolnikov
Background: Conventional decomposition analysis identifies contributions from differences in covariates in total between-population difference, but does not address the question of the historical roots of the differences. To close this gap, the contour decomposition method was proposed. Since 2017, when it was published, this method has been successfully applied in several papers. Nevertheless, it

The effect of migration and time spent abroad on migrants’ health: A home/host country perspective (by Elisa Barbiano di Belgiojoso, Eralba Cela, Eleonora Trappolini) Demographic Research (IF 2.1) Pub Date : 2024-05-23 Elisa Barbiano di Belgiojoso, Eralba Cela, Eleonora Trappolini
Background: It is widely recognized that migrants are generally healthy upon arrival, but for several reasons, a longer length of stay abroad can have detrimental effects on health. Empirical evidence suggests the use of different comparison groups (natives in the destination country; co-nationals in the origin country) to analyse migrants’ health, depending on research aims and data availability.

Childhood internal migration in Europe: Developments across cohorts and countries Population, Space and Place (IF 2.6) Pub Date : 2024-05-20 Alon Pertzikovitz, Gusta G. Wachter, Helga A. G. de Valk
Internal migration is the driving force behind population re‐distribution within countries. Although internal migration has been extensively studied among adults, little is known about patterns in childhood migration, and even less so in a comparative manner. This study, therefore, adopts a child‐centred approach and contributes to the literature by exploring cross‐national changes in childhood migration

Background: Research suggests that, following major changes in women’s roles in developed societies, gender relations within heterosexual partnerships are entering a second stage, during which men’s roles are the main source of change. Some scholars suggest that changes in gender roles occur differentially across social classes, as reflected in variation across educational groups. Objective: We ask
