📢 We are excited to announce a new @QuantMig database!
Around a year ago, @_RafCosta, @michaelboiss & @ValkHelga created and run a survey on the future of migration between Europe and the Middle East & North Africa.
The data can now be downloaded at Zenodo

I am late to announce that this week I officially started working at the Department of Linguistics and Philology of the University of Uppsala on a new postdoctoral project called “Estimates of speaker numbers and dormancy year for the world's endangered languages”.
One can have reservations about the Frontiers journals but I do appreciate their transparency. I am not sure why but am I positively surprised that Prof. Wolfgang Lutz was a reviewer for this paper.

We asked migration scholars how migration to Europe might change under different social and environmental scenarios. How the situation will develop in sending countries will generally matter more than in Europe. New study by myself & Petra de Jong. journal.frontiersin.org/arti…

New paper by myself and Joop de Beer in which we show that levels of childlessness can decrease as marriage becomes less popular and union histories more complex. Levels increasingly depend on childbearing decisions among cohabiting couples.

In a paper I write that "fertility is biologically constrained among women". What trans-inclusive/gender-inclusive note could I add regarding the use of the term "women" here? "Refers to persons of female biological sex"?

People in OECD countries are retiring later, but they are also spending more years working while being affected by chronic diseases. New study by myself and Paola Rios: authors.elsevier.com/sd/arti…

Today I talked at the Poznan Linguistic Meeting - 1st time at a linguistic conference. Session called: “Future of less favored languages: Indigenous, regional and minority status”. My presentation: how to assess the future of endangered languages using tools from demography. 1/8
Parameters can be fed to a microsimulation model to take into account the role of stochasticity - which can play an important role among small populations - and to allow to tweak parameters and explore what is needed to save a language. 7/8
