In 2010-15, males in Europe displayed a 6.8-year-lower life expectancy and a 2.3-year-higher standard deviation in lifespan than females, with clear regional differences. Sex differences in lifespan variation are attributable largely to higher external mortality among males aged 30-39, whereas sex differences in life expectancy are due predominantly to higher smoking-related and cardiovascular disease mortality among males aged 60-69.

The aim of this paper is to improve our understanding of the decline in period fertility in two dimensions: differentials by the education of a woman's parents (family background) and by a woman's education in relation to that of her parents (intergenerational educational mobility). The analysis finds a substantial decline in fertility in each education group, whether defined by a woman's parents' education alone or by a woman's own education relative to her parents' education. Considering parents' and women's own education together helps differentiate fertility further than analysing either generation's education in isolation. Using these educational mobility groups more clearly shows a narrowing of TFR differentials over the decade, but timing differences persist.}, keywords = {Family background; Social mobility; Total fertility rate; Period fertility; mean age at birth; fertility differentials}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1477-4747} } @article{MTMT:34320535, title = {A growing divide: Trends in social inequalities in healthy longevity in Australia, 2001-20}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/34320535}, author = {Xu, Kim Qinzi and Payne, Collin F.}, doi = {10.1080/00324728.2023.2241429}, journal-iso = {POP STUD-J DEMOG}, journal = {POPULATION STUDIES-A JOURNAL OF DEMOGRAPHY}, unique-id = {34320535}, issn = {0032-4728}, abstract = {This study examines two decades of change in social inequalities in life and health expectancy among older adults in Australia, one of the few countries that escaped an economic recession during the global financial crisis.

The sample includes 11,854 respondents who have lost at least one parent before age 18. We find a strong polarization of fertility behaviours among orphaned males, more pronounced for those coming from a disadvantaged background. More often childless, particularly when parental death occurred in adolescence, some seem to retreat from parenthood. But orphaned men and women who do become parents seem to embrace family life, by beginning childbearing earlier and having more children, especially when the deceased parent is of the same sex.}, keywords = {fertility; childhood; France; orphan; PARENTHOOD; Childlessness; Parental death}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1477-4747}, pages = {217-239}, orcid-numbers = {Beaujouan, Eva/0000-0003-3072-4336; Solaz, Anne/0000-0001-6421-9093} } @article{MTMT:33883614, title = {Body mass index in early adulthood and transition to first birth: Racial/ethnic and sex differences in the United States NLSY79 Cohort}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33883614}, author = {Lee, D.

We imputed pre-parenthood early BMI for a larger sample, including early childbearers, for the same United States NLSY79 data used in a previous study and simulated differences in the probability of childlessness at age 40+ using posterior distributions based on the Bayesian framework.

The consequences of these changes for the cohort total fertility rate (CTFR)-a measure free from tempo distortions-and for educational differences in completed fertility remain unknown. Due to data limitations, CTFR forecasts in low- and middle-income countries are rare. We use Brazilian censuses to reconstruct fertility rates indirectly and forecast the CTFR for all women and by educational level. Four forecasting methods indicate that the CTFR is unlikely to fall to the level of the PTFR. Educational differences in the CTFR are likely to be stark, at 0.7-0.9, larger than in many high-income countries with comparable CTFRs.

We show an application using Finnish registration data that cover the entire population over the period from 1996 to 2017. The results indicate that lifespan stratification and life-expectancy differences between income groups both increased substantially from 1996 to 2008; subsequently, life-expectancy differences declined, whereas stratification stagnated for men and increased for women.
