Our new #dataviz is online @SociusJournal: we show that shift from household-based surveys to remote data collection by mobile phone that occurred during COVID-19 pandemic may have led to deterioration of age data collected by interviewers in some LMICs, with possible consequences for measurement of demographic indicators and statistical models of socio-economic outcomes. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/23780231231158766

Not a single co-author from an Ethiopian institution on paper describing a major archeological find at Melka Kunture site, near Adis Ababa. All from Italy, Spain, France or Germany https://www.nature.com/articles/s41559-022-01970-1

Journal editors should fight such extractive practices, and promote more equitable authorship, as is an ongoing struggle in #globalhealth.

US-centrism in the content and editorship of all major sociology journals is holding the discipline back. We need an open access, high-status sociology journal that gives equal attention to all global regions - anyone willing to help set this up?

New open access paper with Jiaxin Shi, Alyson van Raalte, and Christiaan Monden! We study inequalities in the length of retirement in the US using HRS data. Overall, the higher educated can expect to spend more lifetime in retirement. Moreover, lower educated individuals have more inequality, and thus greater uncertainty, in the lifetime they spend being retired. We argue that our findings are relevant when planning and implementing pension reforms. Get it here: https://doi.org/10.1093/geronb/gbac180
Inequalities in Retirement Lifespan in the United States

New study on excess mortality during COVID-19 pandemic in urban area of #Bangladesh. Based on surveillance of burials, rather than civil registration of deaths. In my view, such studies face issues. Management of deaths (eg where/when to hold burial) might change during epidemics. Short-term fluctuations in count of deaths might be due to changing practices, better/worse record-keeping, migrations etc... as well as excess mortality.
