Cohort Perspectives on Mortality Shocks and Child Loss (Dissertation)

Conducted by Emilio Zagheni; Maria Laura Miranda, Ugofilippo Basellini, Roland Rau; in Collaboration with Emily Smith-Greenaway, Enrique Acosta (both: MPIDR)

In this project, we explore mortality shocks and child losses as events that happen over the life course. We present estimates that consider individuals’ complete trajectories and examine how the timing and accumulation of those experiences are shaped by socioeconomic inequalities. Detailed Description
