CPC is a collaboration between the Universities of Southampton, St. Andrews, and Stirling, it is an umbrella organisation bringing together multiple projects investigating population change. These projects are financed through a variety of funders, primarily the Economic and Social Research Council.

🗨️ Concluding her reflections, CPC-CG member Professor Ann Berrington says: "Success of policies should be based not on whether #fertility increases, but whether individuals are given #reproductive freedom and the ability to achieve their fertility intentions."

📋 Come along this Thursday 26 March to our next #CPCCGWebinar with Joseph Harrison from the University of #Salford.

Joseph will discuss a key finding in #migrant #healthresearch: although foreign‑born #populations often live longer, they may spend more of those extra years in poorer health. Using #Swedish #administrativedata, Joseph offers a clearer picture by relying on objective #patientrecords rather than self‑reported #health.
