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.

BACKGROUND: There is growing evidence that spatial mobility has an impact on and is driven by family dynamics and gender relations. In contexts where family diversity and complexity have increased and gender inequalities persist, it is particularly urgent that we advance our understanding of decisions regarding spatial mobility and of its patterns and outcomes, in relation to families and gender.

The family and residential environments are critical to children's wellbeing and, hence, residential change can affect children's developmental outcomes. In this research, we study the associations between residential relocations and academic performance in the Australian context using panel regression methods on longitudinal data of a representative sample of 3,481 children born in the late 1990s from the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (LSAC).

Cause-of-death diversity captures the variability of deaths across causes and is an important marker of heterogeneity in a population's health. We contribute to the debate of cause-of-death diversity dynamics by following a novel multiple causes of death (MCOD) approach and applying it to the U. [...]

Pese a la antigüedad de los flujos procedentes de África y al peso alcanzado por esta inmigración en España, su pobla- ción, tanto en la agregación de los ciudadanos originarios del Norte de África como en la de los subsaharianos, pre- senta una importante brecha respecto a los nativos y al resto de la población inmigrada, tanto en las pautas residenciales como en la inserción laboral. [...]
Despite the longstanding immigration inflows from Africa and the weight attained in Spain, the country's population displays, in the aggregation of citizens from both North and Sub-Saharan Africa, large gaps with respect to the native population and the rest of the immigrant population, in terms of their residential patterns and their labour insertion.
