I’m excited to share my first Bluesky post featuring my first PhD paper! We found that some 1.5 generation women consistently show higher risks of first, second, and third births compared to British natives, while some 2.5 generation display distinctive pattern of fertility rates.
“We examine first, second, and third birth rates amongst those who moved to the UK as children, were born in the UK to two foreign-born parents, or were born to one foreign-born and one UK-born parent.” @jiseonbaek.bsky.social
