The True, the Good, the Spiteful: An Auto(bio)psy of Bosnian Refugee Experience in Sweden International Migration Review (IF 3.96) Pub Date : 2024-05-09 Adnan Mahmutović
This article employs the Bosnian notion of “inat,” often translated as spite, to perform auto(bio)psy of my writing about refugee lives in Sweden. Methodologically speaking, I begin with an assertion that the hybrid form of auto(bio)psy, a method that entangles creative and critical reflection, helps capture what it means to live with the traumas of war, especially in the face of genocide denial and

Standardized mean age at death (MADstd): Exploring its potentials as a measure of human longevity (by Markus Sauerberg, Marc Luy) Demographic Research (IF 2.005) Pub Date : 2024-04-30 Markus Sauerberg, Marc Luy
Background: Period mean age at death (MAD) is affected by a population’s age structure, and therefore by its mortality, fertility, and migration history. Period life expectancy (e_0) is also a mean age at death, for a standardized population with a stationary age structure. It depends only on current mortality rates. Here, we explore a middle ground: an age-standardized measure of period age at death

Life Expectancy Reversals in Low‐Mortality Populations Population and Development Review (IF 10.515) Pub Date : 2024-04-22 Joshua R. Goldstein, Ronald D. Lee
Behind the steady march of progress toward longer life expectancy in many low‐mortality countries, there have been setbacks even before the Covid‐19 pandemic. In this paper, we use an exploratory approach to describe the temporal structure, age patterns, and geographic aspects of life expectancy reversals. We find that drops in life expectancy are often followed by larger than average improvements

Does skill emigration hurt unskilled workers? Theory and cross‐country evidence International Migration (IF 2.022) Pub Date : 2024-04-18 Saibal Kar, Sugata Marjit
How does out‐migration of skilled workers affect unskilled workers' wage in the source country? When skilled workers emigrate, unskilled wages tend to go down in some countries. If the sector that uses both skilled and unskilled workers shows a lower degree of capital intensity as compared to sectors that use only skilled workers in production, it is a common outcome. We use 19 years of cross‐country
