  1. And a few years from now, most people of workforce age in Sweden will have been born in another country. This is due to low nativity, that has luckily been compensated for to some extent by vigorous #immigration.

    But it's not enough. And voters have put several consecutive governments in place that have effectively shut off immigration to Sweden. The future is looking grim because of the demographic crisis. We need to copy Spain's policies.

  2. Most of today’s Swedish care assistants were born outside the EU.

  3. I typically only share Israel news if it has significant implications for the diaspora. This does. Also DellaPergola is a brilliant demographer and does super cool stuff.

    "An analysis released this week predicts that, within the next 10 years, #Israel could become the home for a majority of the world’s #Jews, a change which, according to the new report, will “redefine the meaning of #Jewishpeoplehood.”

    On Wednesday, the Institute for Jewish #Policy #Research (#JPR) published “The #Jewish People in 2126: #Demography, Identity, and the Future of a Global #Minority,” a 22-page paper by #SergioDellaPergola, a professor emeritus and former chairman of #HebrewUniversity’s Avraham Harman Institute of Contemporary #Jewry who now serves as the #London-based #thinktank’s president for its #European #JewishDemography Unit."

  4. 🗞️ 🗞️ CPC-CG Director Prof Jane Falkingham spoke with The Telegraph about the closing gap between men's and women's #longevity following newly published #ONS data on UK #lifeexpectancy :

    “Women are adopting male #healthrisk behaviours, so it’s partly because men’s life expectancy is improving, but also because women’s isn’t going up as fast. Women were just so far ahead, it’s important to remember that these increases [for men] are from a very low baseline.”

  27. 'Rather than trying to “fix” falling #birthrates, #policymakers should prepare for an #older #population – from rethinking how #oldage support is funded, to enabling people to remain in #work for longer. “Simply telling people to have more #babies is unlikely to work,” said CPC-CG member Dr Bernice Kuang' (Department of #SocialStatistics and #Demography at the University of #Southampton), who spoke with #TheGuardian last week about the latest #ONS #PopulationProjections.

  32. Demography and life histories across the Roman frontier in Germany 400–700 ce

    "Population genetic analyses reveal a major demographic shift coinciding with the late fifth century collapse of Roman state structures, when a founding population of northern European ancestry mixed with genetically diverse Roman provincial groups. Pedigree reconstruction and filia, a method for inferring the ancestry of unsampled relatives, indicate widespread intermarriage and minimal cultural differentiation"
