I am a researcher in demography at the Stockholm University Demography Unit (SUDA) and a GLO affiliate researcher.
My research focuses on family policies, parental leave, migration, and gender inequalities.
Using large-scale administrative and survey data, I studies how welfare institutions shape family behaviours, including parental leave uptake and fertility responses to economic conditions.
I also works on population ageing and later-life inequalities, examining well-being, material deprivation, and social participation among older adults.
