Demography and Inequality: Intersecting Paths
Conference Theme:
The theme of the 2025 conference, "Demography and Inequality: Intersecting Paths," highlights the significant and complex influence that inequality exerts on demographic trends. The distribution of resources, opportunities, and power—marked by profound disparities—shapes demographic patterns in ways that both mirror and perpetuate social inequities. These influences are evident in the evolving dynamics of marriage, family formation, health outcomes, migration patterns, and fertility decisions. As these demographic trends develop, they not only reflect social inequalities but also play a role in either reinforcing or mitigating them, creating a reciprocal relationship. The interaction between demographic factors and social inequalities, economic disparities, and political polarisation presents challenges that vary widely across different regions and social groups, necessitating careful, context-specific studies. This conference aims to deepen our understanding of how demographic trends are shaped by and, in turn, influence inequality. We encourage scholars to submit abstracts that explore key questions about the relationships between various forms of inequality, inequity, disparity, and demographic events, processes, and outcomes using quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-method approaches. Comparative studies across countries and regions are also welcome. This conference aims to foster a dialogue that envisions pathways towards a more equitable future.
