Abstract
Demographic studies consistently find a mortality advantage among migrants, but a lack of longitudinal data tracking individuals across national borders has limited the study of historical international migration. To address this gap, we use the crowd-sourced online genealogical database Familinx to estimate the migrant mortality advantage for migrants from the United Kingdom and Ireland between 1750 and 1910. We compare age at death for non-migrants and migrants to Canada, the United States, South Africa, New Zealand, and Australia using mixed-effects regression models that account for unobserved factors shared between siblings.
The household is an important unit for analysis of greenhouse gas emission from the population. A large part of private consumption occurs at the household level such as housing, cars, household machines or even food. However, there is a lack of household projections that connect with population projections commonly used in climate change research, such as the Wittgenstein Center (WIC) projections that correspond to the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways. Moreover, the WIC projections are by education in addition to age and sex. Basing the household projection on population projections with level of education allows us to infer additional life events that has an impact on household status transitions such as pursuing post-secondary education. Applying a life course approach to the household transitions trajectories lets us analyze how different life course events shape the likelihood of moving between different household types throughout the life course.
