The CBE Inspire Fund, funded through Research Cost Recovery as well as the Applied Research Consortium, is designed to support research activities for which a relatively small amount of support can be transformative. This may include work that is traditionally underfunded, or that done by scholars who are members of groups currently underrepresented in our college. Inspire Fund proposals may request awards between $1,000 and $5,000. We anticipate awarding up to $21,000 in this funding cycle. More information can be found here!
Dr. Daniel Goodkind (Independent Research), an expert on the demographic dynamics in China, will be speaking to the UN’s Population Division on January 19, 2023 at 11am (Pacific). The talk will reflect upon the divisive debates that continue over the demographic impact of China’s half century Malthusian campaign to control its population (1970-2021), the underlying disagreement concerns what to call it. The ubiquitous “one-child policy” label narrows attention to one-child limits imposed during a 35-year sub-era (1980-2015), a long-recognized misnomer that excludes the initial decade of compulsion and obscures the broader program of regulations and enforcements that evolved during that sub-era (and lingered afterwards). The misnomer is further flawed for misidentifying the birth ceiling most responsible for its demographic consequences. This research begins with common ground – that Malthusian intervention reduced China’s current population by over 600 million, independent of developmental forces. It then estimates 200 million one-child era singletons. If half or less of them resulted from compulsion, as conventional wisdom suggests, at least 73 percent of the overall population reduction was due to two-child (and higher) limits and associated regulations, the key constraints even during the one-child era. Relatedly, although one-child limits account for only 166 million of that population reduction (less than half the official estimate of 400 million averted), that estimate jumps to 475 million when the one-child era is broadly defined. A companion analysis of female “missing births” illustrates widespread acceptance of the broader definition. Although routinely attributed to “the one-child policy,” 90 percent or more of missing females were second or later births constrained instead by higher-order birth ceilings. Intuition fails because decades of one-child images, along with each utterance of the phrase, keep refreshing the misnomer.

This panel will address current demographic knowledge, theory, and methods for studying migration processes in Ukraine during the Russian invasion of 2022. Panelists will discuss the background of their own and others’ research on the topic, including migration before the armed conflict, Ukrainian refugees in Poland, and internally displaced persons in Ukraine. They will also discuss the difficulties of measurement and analysis of data on movement during armed conflict. Short presentations by panelists will be followed by discussion with the audience.
Brienna Perelli-Harris is Professor of Demography at the University of Southampton. She studies family change around the world, including fertility decline in Ukraine and Russia. Over the past few years, she has collaborated with colleagues to study the well-being of Internally Displaced Persons, depopulation, and fertility uncertainty in Ukraine.
Cynthia Buckley is Professor of Sociology at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Her current research centers on issues of population, social equity, and development in Eurasia. Buckley received a BA in Economics and an M.A. in Russian Studies before completing her Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of Michigan. Prior to her arrival at Illinois, Professor Buckley was a faculty member of both the Department of Sociology and Eurasian Studies at the University of Texas at Austin and also served as a Program Director at the Social Science Research Council (2010-2012).
Martin Piotrowski is Associate Professor of Sociology at the University of Oklahoma. He received his PhD in sociology from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and training at the Carolina Population Center (CPC). His research focuses on aspects of rural-to-urban migration, marriage and fertility, and familial and gender attitudes especially in parts of Asia and most recently parts of Europe. He has done research in several countries including Thailand, Nepal, China, Japan, and Poland and has explored topics involving inter-generational and family relations, household structures, and life course transitions. He has published widely in sociology, family, and demography journals.

Congratulations are due to CSDE Affiliate Arthur Acolin (Real Estate) who was recently awarded an NIH R21 grant to entitled ‘Gentrification, Mobility, and Exposure to Contextual Determinants of Health.’ The project will examine how gentrification affects mobility patterns at the neighborhood levels and changes exposure to contextual determinants of health that have been shown to contribute to social and race/ethnic inequalities in health. The proposed research leverages consumer trace data from Data Axle that have broad population coverage and high temporal and spatial specificity to further our understanding of gentrification, mobility, and health disparities. Acolin graciously acknowledged the support from CSDE, writing “from start to finish [CSDE support] was key from the grant writing workshop with Kyle [Crowder] and feedback from Steve [Goodreau] to Belinda’s [Sachs] wonderful assistance putting together all the elements of the proposal, as well as the financial support for access to Data Axle data and the UW Data Collaborative infrastructure and data access support from Phil.”
Recently, the Population Reference Bureau and its Population Dynamics Research Coordinating Center featured Dr. Rowhani’s and Dr. Hill’s research on the impact of Federal tax policy on poor child outcomes in their regular blog highlighting population research. They find that the child tax credit (CTC) and earned income tax credit (EITC) are related to declines in reports of child maltreatment, youth violence, and juvenile convictions. The CTC and EITC are among the largest anti-poverty programs in United States, notes Ali Rowhani-Rahbar, a UW epidemiology professor and study co-author. “While not originally designed to prevent violence, we find meaningful reductions in several forms of violence per each $1,000 increase in EITC provided,” he adds. This new research comes as policymakers at both the national and state levels are considering proposals to expand these tax credits. Child poverty fell more than 40% between 2020 and 2021 thanks to a temporary one-year expansion of the CTC—part of the government’s pandemic response.
