That website was pivotal in undermining #populationGrowth concerns in the 2010s and as a result set back movements to empower women, and to secure #familyPlanning and other services. With the help of an elevated #demographer at the #BBC, the world saw a marked increase in #fertility as a result, The problem of #unwantedBirths is a huge and they basically helped fuel it.
It has helped to plunge more people into various forms of poverty, modern slavery, precarity etc.

I’m a #sociologist and #demographer interested in the relationships between #environmental change, sustainable development, and health and well-being.
I study how #climate change affects food security, child nutrition, and infant health, and I examine the social processes underlying dam-induced displacement. Much of this work focuses on low- and middle-income countries (#Brazil and #Ethiopia in particular).
I’m excited to connect with others here! 🌍

I am a #geographer and #demographer who is #postac working at a consultancy/think tank. I am currently focused on a #data and #analytics technology transformation project at a US federal government agency. I work in #RStats and #python primarily.

Mostly I study the effect of education on labor markets / stratification, but I also am interested in (and doing research on) the effect of education on internal migration, civic behaviors, and social networks.
I am not a real #demographer but I am often mistaken for one and I appreciate being involved in their research community.
