VIRTUAL EVENT: The effects of birth spacing on health and socioeconomic outcomes

09 Jun 2021, 13:00 – 14:00

Kieron Barclay

Kieron Barclay is a Pro Futura Scientia XIV Fellow at the Swedish Collegium for Advanced Study and an Associate Professor in Sociology at Stockholm University.

A primary theme of his work has been to examine the consequences of parental fertility decisions for their children; for example, how parental age at the time of birth, spacing between births, family size, and birth order affects children's health and mortality at various stages of the life course, as well as their educational and socioeconomic attainment.
