🔉🌸 Job "overqualification" has serious economic and social consequences for society and individuals across the life course. In today's #DemographyMinute, PSC trainee @janetjwang.bsky.social presents from her award-winning #PAA2025 poster. @umsociology.bsky.social @umichstonecid.bsky.social

🌸 The finding that mobility disability affects trans people of color at an earlier age suggests the need for specific attention to this group in aging research to address inequities. In this #DemographyMinute @wescorking.bsky.social talks about his pathbreaking work, and his experience at #PAA2025.

In today's #DemographyMinute: Yasamin Kusunoki et al collected weekly data to understand relationship dynamics and predictors of intimate partner violence. She predicts that with increasing instability and restrictions on abortion, we may see an increase in intimate partner violence. #PAA2025

Y’all could have just attended #PAA2025 instead and then you’d have learned something useful about population dynamics and the racist and white supremacist underpinnings of the pronatalist movements. Bonus: we had more than 200 attendees who are experts in their fields!

I was able to spend a few hours as a tourist post- #PAA2025

🔉🌸 In this #DemographyMinute, PSC postdoc Shane Burns and Luule Sakkeus describe their work with @liilia.bsky.social on disability disparities that investigates the heterogeneity of populations in Central and Eastern Europe. #PAA2025

Did you know that there were only 3 posters in #PAA2025 on #menopause among all 272 sessions, ~1,000 talks, and 978 posters?

Our DHS‑based findings on menopause timing in South and Southeast Asia sparked meaningful conversations—proof that the interest is there when the topic is given space.

🌸 PSC Trainee Emma Banchoff presents work with Emma Labovitz on parents' migration and long-term mental health. In a migration-heavy context like Nepal, parents’ labor migration experiences may serve as a longterm buffer against children’s adverse outcomes. #CVFS at #PAA2025 @um-src.bsky.social
