Ph.D. in Demography
BIO
I am a sociologist and hold a Ph.D. in Demography from the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB). I am currently an Assistant Research Scientist at the Department of Applied Health Science, School of Public Health, Indiana University Bloomington. My research focuses on developing better measures of abortion attitudes in the US across English- and Spanish-speaking populations and improving access to self-managed abortion among Latinx migrants in the US. I also study family formation processes and international migration with a focus on studying fertility patterns in postindustrial societies. I am interested in the role of gender egalitarianism, labor market institutions, and social policy in family formation. I have been affiliated to the Center for Demographic Studies (CED) in Barcelona between 2005 and 2020, and to Harvard University between 2014 and 2018. I have received several grants for my research, with projects and publications that you can learn more about below.

Low fertility has been at the forefront of demographers’ research agendas in recent decades. Fertility rates in many developed societies, including Spain, have rapidly fallen below 1.5 children per woman. However, the ideal number of children remains centered at two children in most postindustrial countries. Many young adults say they would like to have two children, but they expect to have fewer. What explains this gap between fertility ideals and intentions? Understanding the reasoning behind the gap between ideal fertility and intended or realized fertility is key to helping young adults to meet their fertility aspirations. This research aims to better understand the reasoning behind young adults’ fertility decision-making. Three factors are explored in detail to reach this understanding: 1) the gap between relatively egalitarian gender-role attitudes and more traditional gender-role behaviors among Spanish couples, 2) the rigidity and precariousness of the labor-market structure for men and women’s fertility decision-making, and 3) the role of public institutions and family policies. Extensive scientific literature can be found focused on family formation dynamics and fertility, especially for European countries and mainly using a quantitative perspective. This qualitative project used an innovative methodology to analyze the Spanish case from a three different perspectives: an intra-country and cross-country comparison (comparing similar data from Spain, Sweden, the U.S., Japan and Korea in 2012), an historical comparison (comparing Spain 1985 vs. 2012) and a longitudinal comparison (comparing the same Spanish sample in 2012 and 2018).
