This includes research to better understand, predict and study diversity and inequality across multiple realms. Our inequality research is far reaching and diverse, such as: digital gender inequalities, racial and ethnic disparities in mortality and 'deaths of despair', whether Black Lives Matter to employers, inequalities in retirement lifespan, disparities by neighbourhood and in relation to recidivism, differential scaring effects for the unemployed and professional gender gaps, inequalities in wealth trajectories of divorcees, through to revealing the lack of diversity in the data used in genomics in our GWAS Diversity Monitor.
The Centre's work also demonstrated how COVID-19 exacerbated existing inequalities such as inequalities in life expectancy, race and ethnic differences in mortality, gender differences in sleep disruption, inability to follow interventions like working from home, avoiding contact for certain groups or fine-grained estimates of how neighbourhood inequalities by ethnicity, age, social deprivation created a concentration of COVID risks.
A new study by researchers at the Leverhulme Centre for Demographic Science and Princeton University reveals that US working-age adults are dying at higher rates than their peers in high-income countries; the UK is also falling behind. The study is published today in the International Journal of Epidemiology.
Phase 2 of Mapineq Link has been unveiled by the project team at Oxford Population Health’s Demographic Science Unit, the Leverhulme Centre for Demographic Science and the Department of Economics, Econometrics and Finance at the Faculty of Economics and Business, University of Groningen.
In this video, Dr Katarzyna Doniec summarises her new International Journal of Epidemiology paper which reveals that US working-age adults are dying at higher rates than their peers in high-income countries; the UK is also falling behind.
