As part of the consortium, I am investigating the demographic, social and economic determinants of changing fertility and family dynamics in my role as work package leader. The second research project is a Nordic collaboration funded by the Danish ROCKWOOL Foundation. The project is titled Determinants of later and forgone parenthood in the Nordic countries'. Examining the role of housing and labour market careers (NORDPARENT), for which I am the lead researcher in Finland.
