The Global Aspirational Class and Its Demographic Fortunes

     When:  Friday, Feb 24, 2023 (12:30-1:30 PM PT)
     Where:  101 Hans Rosling Center and Online Here

1-on-1 Signups with Dr. Desai can be found here

This week’s CSDE seminar is offered by Dr. Sonalde Desai, Department of Sociology, University of Maryland. Dr. Desai is the immediate past president of the Population Association of America and this is a preview of her 2023 PAA Presidential Address – “The Global Aspirational Class and Its Demographic Fortunes”.  Her talk examines how the global educational expansion and growth in middle-income households in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) have brought worldwide attention to the social transformation underway in many countries. Simultaneously, income inequalities within LMICs has also grown sharply, and employment opportunities have lagged behind the aspirational transformations. This seminar will examine the changes in education and employment opportunities in LMICs over the past three decades and explore changes in marriage, fertility and investments in children that have accompanied these economic changes.

New Research by DeWaard and Colleagues on Migration Out of Disaster Affected Areas in the United States

In a new paper, published in the most recent issue of Demography, entitled ”Migration as a Vector of Economic Losses From Disaster-Affected Areas in the United States”, CSDE External Affiliate Jack DeWaard and colleagues demonstrate how human migration is associated with the economic losses due to extreme weather disasters. Taking a comparative case study approach and using data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York/Equifax Consumer Credit Panel, the researchers document the size of economic losses attributable to migration from 23 disaster-affected areas in the United States before, during, and after some of the most costly hurricanes, tornadoes, and wildfires on record.
