Hi, I'm Roxana, a social scientist from Romania.

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Center for Demographic Studies (CED) in Barcelona, Spain. I study social stratification and family dynamics. I have a  Ph.D. in Social and Political Sciences from Bocconi University in Milan, Italy. My past research focuses on poverty and family dynamics, with a special attention to single parenthood. Currently, I study the economic profile of singles in Europe.
