SDF gratulerar Magdalena Planting från Stockholms universitet med uppsatsen "An analysis of the relationship between immigrant generation and math performance in the Finnish school system". Hela uppsatsen kan läsas här (pdf). Juryns motivering: The winning thesis investigates the impact of a precarious employment situation on fertility intentions. The author employs the 2021 Swedish Generations and Gender Survey to investigate the effect of both objective and subjective indicators of precarious employment situations on short-term fertility intentions among native and migrant women and men in Sweden. The findings suggest that precarious employment has an overall negative effect on fertility intentions, however, there are significant difference between migrants and natives, and men and women. The thesis builds on an extensive review of the existing literature, and presents a sound analysis and results that enhance our understanding of fertility decisions and the factors that motivate them. No short feat, the author manages to keep the reader immersed throughout, exhibiting a clear structure, impeccable language and an engaging narrative style. Overall, this is an excellent thesis, built on a sound theoretical, methodological and empirical foundation. 2024.02.20 Joined seminar with the Swedish Epidemiological Association (SVEP) On the 10th of April between 13:00-15:00 SDF is organising a webinar in collaboration with the Swedish Epidemiological Association. The title of the webinar is "How does the composition of the population affect our interpretation of average effects, and what can epidemiologists and demographers learn from each other on this topic?". After this, at 15:15, the SDF will hold its annual meeting. 2023.12.08 SDF's winter seminar With 46 Zoom participants and even more people in the room, we are happy to report that our winter seminar "The fertility decline: why is it happening and what is next" was a success!

Hela uppsatsen kan läsas här (pdf). Juryn bestod av Nahikari Irastorza (Malmö), Weiqian Xia (Stockholm), Debora Birgier (Göteborg), och Inge Dahlstedt (Malmö). Juryns motivering: "The winning thesis compares school performance of migrants and native-born students in Finland. Based on PISA data from 2003 to 2018 and regression analysis, the author explores the development of the gap in PISA scores in math across time and among school age migrants who moved to Finland at different ages, the native-born children of immigrants and the native-born with Finish-born parents, and the compositional factors associated to the differences observed. This systematic analysis leads the author to conclude that there is a significant positive performance trend across generations, which is the main contribution to the literature. The thesis is clearly written, structured and well executed. All sections have been meticulously researched and communicated. The contextual background and literature review sections are very comprehensive and help the reader understand the findings of the study. The final discussion in the concluding section is an exceptional example of how to relate the findings of a study to the literature and the broader context in which the research is embedded" 2023.05.22 Svensk Demografisk Förening har en ny styrelse I maj hade vi SDF:s årsmöte.
