Finally @drjenndowd.bsky.social has an excellent explainer on the new data: "When people shift to having children later in life, overall birth rates can appear artificially lower for a time. Whether delayed births eventually “catch up” is an open question that demographers are watching closely" 7/7

Comparative Population Studies welcomes submissions to the 2026 special issue Migration Trajectories Across the Life Course, guest edited by Sergi Vidal (Autonomous University of Barcelona), Aude Bernard (University of Queensland), and Riccardo Valente (Autonomous University of Barcelona). The proposed special issue aims to leverage a trajectory-based approach that fully accounts for the multi-dimensional nature of migration across time and space, providing deeper insights into diverse migration trajectory patterns and their long-term individual and societal implications.

"- using high parity progression (i.e., having more children) to capture low gender equality is paternalistic and fails to capture women’s fertility goals, and to what extent they can achieve them" ➡️ Also an important reason for studying fertility preferences and intentions and not behaviour alone!
