Centre for Demographic Studies (CED-CERCA)

The Centre for Demographic Studies (CED) is a CERCA center, a center for research and training in demography, founded in 1984, through a consortium between the Generalitat de Catalunya and the UAB, being currently one of the European centers of reference in demography . CED research is organized into three major areas: Families, Inequality, and Social Change; Globalization, migration and space; and Health and aging. In terms of training, the CED offers, together with the UAB Department of Geography, the Doctoral Program in Demography. The CED is also a member of the European Doctoral School of Demography (EDSD), being its headquarters for several academic years.

Spain's fertility is among the lowest in the world, due largely to an increasing number of childless women. Childlessness, whether a voluntary choice or not, often results from postponement of childbearing. [...]

Segons dades de l’Enquesta de Població Activa (EPA), les dimensions mitjanes de les llars a Espanya i Portugal van disminuir d’una manera sostinguda entre els anys 1991 i 2022, fet que comportà una reducció de les diferències amb altres països de la Unió Europea. [...]

Measuring income inequality in Spain from the long nineteenth century up to the emergence of modern household budgets is a daunting task, often requiring almost heroic assumptions given the scarcity and partial nature of the available sources. [...]

Els incendis forestals constitueixen un problema ambiental cada cop més freqüent al sud d’Europa, on cada estiu els boscos en flames i els cels coberts de fum ocupen els titulars. Tot i que la seva destrucció immediata és molt visible, les seves conseqüències per a la salut, especialment per a les dones embarassades i els nadons, són molt menys evidents. [...]
Wildfires are a common environmental concern in Southern Europe, where burning forests and smoke-filled skies dominate the news each summer. While their immediate destruction is highly visible, their health consequences, especially for pregnant women and newborns, are far less apparent. [...]

64 p, 9.9 MB Cause-of-Death Determinants of Lifespan Inequality / Permanyer, Iñaki (Centre d'Estudis Demogràfics) ; Vigezzi, Serena (University of Southern Denmark)
We propose a novel decomposition approach that breaks down the levels and trends of lifespan inequality as the sum of cause-of-death contributions. The suggested method shows whether the levels and changes in lifespan inequality are attributable to the levels and changes in (1) the extent of inequality in the cause-specific age-at-death distribution (the ‘Inequality’ component), (2) the total share of deaths attributable to each cause (the ‘Proportion’ component), and (3) the cause-specific mean age at death (the ‘Mean’ component).

Many health indicators are bounded, that is, their values lie between a lower and an upper bound. Inequality measurement withbounded variables faces two normative challenges well‐known in the health inequality literature. [...]
