Biggest appreciation to my advisors, Prof Georges Reniers, Prof Kofi Awusabo-Asare, Dr Anushe Hassan (@anushe.bsky.social), Dr Estelle McLean and Dr Fabian Achana, for their advice and guidance throughout my PhD. I am also thankful to the ESRC UBEL DTP for funding my PhD. Truly grateful.

Finished my PhD! It has been an amazing experience exploring the relationships between household structure, women's empowerment and child health outcomes in Ghana! I am most grateful to my supervisors, @rebeccasear.bsky.social and @ Sarah Walters, for the amazing experience, guidance and support.

Ghanaian data shows weak support for the nuclear convergence hypothesis. Urbanisation hasn't led to the dominance of nuclear families—extended types persist. www.demographic-research.org/articles/vol... @josephineabaafi.bsky.social @rebeccasear.bsky.social @anushe.bsky.social

I'm happy to share my first PhD paper on household structure dynamics in Ghana!😍 Our findings show no strong evidence on nuclear convergence - www.demographic-research.org/articles/vol... I am grateful to my supervisors (Sarah Walters & @rebeccasear.bsky.social) and advisors for this amazing feat!
