SUMMARY:Online lecture 11 – Use of life tables in research of health inequalities
DESCRIPTION:Lecturer: Dr. Sergi Trias-Llimós\, Centre for Demographic Studies (CED)\, Barcelona \nContent: This lecture introduces life tables as a fundamental tool for analysing mortality and health inequalities. It covers key demographic concepts—age\, period\, and cohort—using the Lexis diagram\, explains the construction of period and cohort life tables. The session also discusses the Sullivan method for estimating healthy life expectancy and demonstrates the use of decomposition techniques (e.g.\, Arriaga) to identify the age and cause-specific drivers of health inequalities. \nObjectives: \n\nTo understand the conceptual foundations of demographic event measurement and period rates.\nTo learn how age\, period\, and cohort dimensions interact through the Lexis diagram.\n\nTo construct and interpret period and cohort life tables.\n\nTo use decomposition methods to quantify the drivers of health inequalities across populations.\n\nRecommended reading: \nLuy\, M.\, Di Giulio\, P.\, Di Lego\, V.\, Lazarevič\, P.\, & Sauerberg\, M. (2020). Life expectancy: frequently used\, but hardly understood. Gerontology\, 66(1)\, 95-104. \nPreston\, S.\, Heuveline\, P.\, & Guillot\, M. Demography: Measuring and Modeling Population Processes. \nYou can find the presentation in .pdf here and Excel sheet with examples here.

SUMMARY:Online Workshop ‘Transcribing the Past: Citizen Scientists and Automation in Historical Demography’ (1)
DESCRIPTION:Scope and Objectives\nThrough presentations the first virtual workshop explores projects that are transcribing historical demographic records. After the workshop interested researchers\, practitioners\, and citizen scientists start working on a best practice manual. The in-person workshop will bring all contributors together to finalize the best practice manual\, which will be published in Historical Life Course Studies.\n  \nProgramme Workshop “Transcribing the Past: Citizen Scientists and Automation in Historical Demography”\n
