Read the paper open access here: lnkd.in/dT4WibmV

...and watch me present the key results at the @demographyvienna.bsky.social VIC Colloquium some weeks ago here: lnkd.in/dsVaNweR

We find that medically assisted reproduction contributed 3.7% to Italy’s total fertility rate in 2022 and 5.9% to fertility of first order; its contribution to fertility reached 16% among women aged 40 + and 31% among women aged 40 + at first birth.

Thrilled to share that

"The contribution of medically assisted reproduction to total, age-, and parity-specific fertility in Italy"

is now out in Human Reproduction, with D. Vignoli, A. Burgio & C. Castagnaro.

📉 Birth rates are falling yet governments aren't listening to what people need in order to create the families they want.

Let the @washingtonpost.com ‬explain some of the reasons why fewer people are having children: unf.pa/bbp

Honored to be part of the team of writers behind the @unfpa.org State of the World Population 2025 report.

The real fertility crisis: The most consequential reproductive decision a person can make –when, whether and with whom to have a child– is being undermined by a set of barriers and obstacles

📢 Coercive policies like baby bonuses or fertility targets won't fix falling birth rates.

People need help overcoming the barriers to parenthood they face.

Let @unfpa.org—the #UnitedNations sexual and reproductive health agency—explain ➡️ unf.pa/rfc

Wonderful report on #fertility. Time to reflect about those politicians using the argument of “cultural changes” as a way to save on public policies (and more sustainable societies).

Among the authors a fantastic @agnese-vitali.bsky.social ❤️

Whether this makes her an adult or not, we’re proud of her for reaching this important milestone in her academic journey! 👏🏻

A talented social demographer today defended her thesis on ‘The transition to adulthood revisited’ at the University of Trento. Major congratulations Dr @vferraretto.bsky.social!

Thanks @robertarutigliano.bsky.social for visiting us in in Trento. It was great to brainstorm about fertility in Italy and Spain

My first (short) article from the PhD is out! 👀
Check it out to discover a bit more on the demographics of age at self-disclosure and age at first coming out among LGB people in Europe 📝
(co-authored with my supervisor, @agnese-vitali.bsky.social !)

A first systematic description of the age at self-disclosure and coming out for LGB individuals across Europe. While the age of coming out is decreasing, substantial country-level variation persists, with higher ages observed in Central Europe. www.demographic-research.org/articles/vol...
