Women's life expectancy advantage declined for roughly four decades but resurged after 2012. This coincided with an increase in deaths of despair (deaths due to suicide, alcohol, and drugs), for which rates are higher among men than women. We decompose the gender gap in life expectancy from 1979 to 2022 in the United States by cause of death and find that deaths of despair explain the vast majority of the resurgence of women's life expectancy advantage since 2012, while its contribution to trends before 2012 is small relative to cardiovascular disease, lung cancer, and other causes of death. Drug‐related mortality drives almost all of the post‐2012 growth for White, Black, and Hispanic Americans alike, although its contribution is much higher for those without a college degree. Over the longer term, we show that deaths of despair have significantly offset the equalization of the gender gap in life expectancy since 1979. Our paper contributes to the literature by providing new evidence on the role of anomic social processes as recent drivers of gender disparities in life expectancy.","PeriodicalId":51372,"journal":{"name":"Population and Development Review","volume":"114 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145188358","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This “Immigrant Health Paradox” (IHP) is generalized to all immigrant groups, without recognizing key differences between them. Research on the health of asylum seekers and refugees (AS&Rs) is mostly cross‐sectional, often lacks other immigrants or natives as control groups, and mainly focuses on psychopathological disorders. I bridge the literature on immigrant and AS&R health by investigating the health trajectories of AS&Rs vis‐à‐vis other immigrants and natives. Using longitudinal data from the German Socio‐Economic Panel (2015–2022), I examine general health, health concerns, and SF‐12 physical and mental health for AS&Rs and other immigrants arriving in the first half of the 2010s. I confirm the IHP for non‐AS&R immigrants, while the health trajectories of AS&Rs are more complex. AS&Rs have a mental health disadvantage upon arrival that is gradually closed, while they have a health advantage for other outcomes that is stable or increasing before declining. AS&R women have worse health than men, especially upon arrival. Results are consistent across specifications, including fixed effects models. My findings question the generalizability of the IHP and the assumption that AS&Rs are a negatively selected group.","PeriodicalId":51372,"journal":{"name":"Population and Development Review","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145153618","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While research published in environmental science–oriented journals suggests that stronger environmental concerns are associated with lower fertility preferences, demographic studies have reported mixed findings. This study investigates whether the inconsistent findings result from treating environmental attitudes as a unidimensional construct, typically measured as environmental concern. Using 2010 and 2021 General Social Survey data and applying factor analysis, we identified two additional dimensions of environmental attitudes: behavioral commitment (willingness to change to protect the environment) and perceived danger from environmental threats. Multinomial and ordinary least squares regression models were used to examine relationships between these environmental attitude dimensions and ideal family size over time. Results show that the influence of environmental attitudes on fertility ideals has strengthened in recent years, increasingly motivating preferences for smaller families. In 2010, environmental concern had the most substantial, though nevertheless a weak, association with fertility ideals, and its impact weakened further by 2021, while behavioral commitment became more prominent. Specifically, greater commitment was associated with higher endorsement of small‐family ideals (0‐1 children) and lower endorsement that couples should have as many children as desired. Nevertheless, two‐child ideals remained more common than small‐family ideals. Perceived danger remained a fairly weak correlate of ideals over the study period but became an important predictor of small‐family ideals in 2021. These findings highlight the importance of recognizing the multidimensional nature of environmental attitudes. While environmental concern was historically emphasized, dimensions like behavioral commitment and perceived danger have become increasingly stronger correlates of fertility preferences in recent years.","PeriodicalId":51372,"journal":{"name":"Population and Development Review","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144898712","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Studying its long‐term patterns across countries remains difficult, especially in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs), due to limited early twentieth‐century data. Analyzing about 53.7 million observations from 92 countries, using mainly IPUMS census data, we find that recent cohorts exhibit increasing educational mobility across various world regions, with post‐Soviet countries as exceptions. This increase is more prominent for daughters, resulting in a narrowed gender‐based mobility gap in many LMICs, while reversing this pattern in high‐income countries (HICs), with daughters being more mobile in recent decades. Nevertheless, mobility remains higher in HICs than in LMICs. Moreover, we identify a significant association between the expansion of schooling and intergenerational mobility. This expansion is associated with a more substantial rise in intergenerational mobility for daughters, especially in relation to their mothers’ education compared to that of their fathers. Our results demonstrate strong external and internal validity through a series of robustness checks, including data triangulation across multiple sources.","PeriodicalId":51372,"journal":{"name":"Population and Development Review","volume":"39 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144778308","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A mortality gradient by socioeconomic status (SES) is evident even in the most egalitarian welfare societies, where basic needs like food, safe housing, and health care are universally provided. However, it remains unclear whether such a gradient also existed in historical societies. We use linked full‐count censuses and death registers for Sweden, covering the birth cohorts 1841–1920 to study the development of the socioeconomic differences in adult lifespan across these cohorts. We show that the socioeconomic gradient in male adult lifespan is a relatively recent phenomenon rather than a universal historical pattern. Somewhat counterintuitively, this gradient emerged and strengthened alongside the development of modern medicine and the expansion of the welfare state. For the 1841–1900 male cohorts, there was a reversed gradient with white‐collar men having the shortest lifespan. The modern socioeconomic gradient emerged for the birth cohorts 1911–1920 who reached retirement age in the 1970s and 1980s. For women, there is a positive gradient for all cohorts born between 1841 and 1920. However, the SES differences in female adult lifespan during that period were much smaller than those seen today.","PeriodicalId":51372,"journal":{"name":"Population and Development Review","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144290199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, our results indicate that source‐country culture plays an important role in determining female immigrants’ LFP. Both the wife's and husband's source‐country cultures have significant effects on immigrant women's work, the effect being greater for the wife than for the husband. Second, although immigrants usually act more like natives the longer they live in the host country, after controlling for individual characteristics, we found that female migrant LFP rates increase after five years compared to the initial years following arrival. This result suggests that source‐country culture plays a large and persistent role in determining female LFP, which leads to cultural assimilation proceeding slower than economic assimilation. However, we do not claim that acculturation is weak, as we find further evidence of considerable acculturation among second‐generation immigrants and those who arrived during childhood. Acculturation is thus likely driven by childhood socialization rather than culture integration during adulthood.","PeriodicalId":51372,"journal":{"name":"Population and Development Review","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144165149","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although drivers of European migration are well‐researched, the patterns and spatial dynamics of these bilateral migration flows are less understood. This study investigates the spatial clustering of bilateral migration flows to EU destinations, considering factors like geographic and linguistic proximity between origin and destination countries. We also explore how migration clusters evolve over time, highlighting the spatial dimension of cumulative causation in shaping migration patterns. The findings reveal significant variation in spatial dependence across different legal migration categories. Although all regular migration pathways demonstrate some degree of spatial dependence, the intensity varies considerably. Asylum migration exhibits the strongest spatial dependence among geographically proximate origin countries, followed by educational migration of students. Conversely, family and labor migration flows show the lowest levels of spatial dependence, though linguistic proximity is an important linking factor in these categories. These results underscore the substantial impact of spatial interdependencies and cumulative causation in shaping migration flows. Policymakers should account for these mechanisms when designing strategies to influence migration. Understanding these spatial dynamics is essential for explaining the often limited effectiveness of policies targeting interdependent and often integrated international migration processes.","PeriodicalId":51372,"journal":{"name":"Population and Development Review","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144133731","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
