Centre for Population Change'Rather than trying to “fix” falling #birthrates, #policymakers should prepare for an #older #population – from rethinking how #oldage support is funded, to enabling people to remain in #work for longer. “Simply telling people to have more #babies is unlikely to work,” said CPC-CG member Dr Bernice Kuang' (Department of #SocialStatistics and #Demography at the University of #Southampton), who spoke with #TheGuardian last week about the latest #ONS #PopulationProjections.
📝 In every issue of Changing Populations, we share a #PhD journey from one of our members. This time, Shu Li, a PhD student in the Department of #SocialStatistics and #Demography, University of Southampton, gives us insight into her research career.
Her #doctoral project focuses on ‘#Socialmedia and #fertility behaviour among the #reproductive-age group: Evidence from #China’.
