Jasmin Abdel Ghany

PhD
DPhil Student

Jasmin’s research is concerned with the impact of climate change on fertility and sex ratios at birth – in essence, her research asks how the natural environment influences who’s born and who’s not. She investigates biological and behavioural responses to climatic stressors, particularly extreme temperatures during pregnancy, and how these may translate into changes in population composition. To identify mechanisms and vulnerabilities, Jasmin’s research examines how environment-fertility patterns differ across subgroups of the population. For this, she draws on survey and fine-grained, high-resolution environmental data.

Jasmin is a DPhil in Sociology student at Nuffield College, supervised by Melinda Mills and Ridhi Kashyap. She is also affiliated with the Max Planck Institute of Demographic Research, where she joined the Fertility and Well-being Laboratory in 2021 after completing a Master of Science in Social Research at the University of Edinburgh. For her Master’s thesis, she conducted research on the relationship between climate change, conflict and migration in West Asia and North Africa, for which she won the School of Social and Political Science’s Award for the Best Dissertation in the Graduate School. Prior to her graduate studies, Jasmin gained work experience at the German Foreign Office, in data collection, management and cleaning for Germany’s largest longitudinal household study, the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (G-SOEP), and in international anti-poverty and sustainable development campaigns in NGOs and civil society initiatives.
