Average mortality rates are a horrible measure of typical mortality during the first weeks of life. On the day of birth modal mortality is 189 times lower than average mortality. Read more in my recent piece on selection in neonatal mortality.

Journalists often ask for my thoughts on the contemporary US pronatalist movement. My assessment is based on my expertise and training as a social demographer, and my own research on childbearing behaviors at the individual and aggregate levels.

Strap in, b/c I've got a lot to say. 1/

Here, weird guy from X, I fixed it for you:

"If a scientific society wants to be welcoming to [...] students & researchers [from the Global South], does it make sense to hold its next annual conference in a country that's notorious for [being located in the Global South]?"

The answer is Yes.

Demographers, I need help!

We're estimating excess mortality on noisy historical data. We expect substantial baseline mortality trends (secular mortality decline) that we want to account for in our baseline projection so our "excess mortality" doesn't conflate the true excess w the pre-trend.
