My research focuses on the social demography of population ageing within a comparative international perspective. My main research interests lie at the intersection of family and health in later life and include four main areas: 1) family availability (e.g. childless, (unpartnered), 2) relations (intergenerational support, caregiving, grandparenting), 3) health- physical and mental, and 4) subjective well-being (life satisfaction). In each of these, I am attentive to social inequalities of gender and socio-economic status. Much of my current research focuses on the declining availability of kin and the implications for later life health and well-being across different countries. My current geographic areas of interest include Latin America, the Caribbean, South-East Asia, and Europe.
