José Manuel Aburto is the Marie Sklodowska-Curie Fellow in the Leverhulme Centre for Demographic Science and the Department of Sociology. Lunch will be served at 12:00pm.
“Since 2006, Mexico experienced an unprecedented surge in violence caused by a combination of national policies and international influences on drug trafficking organizations. In this seminar, I will present and overview of past and ongoing work on the impacts of violence and the COVID-19 pandemic on mortality. Using formal demographic methods I will show results about trends in life expectancy, lifespan inequality and fertility in Mexico since 2005. Additionally, I will discuss the recent wave of feminicides in Mexico, challenges to feminicide documentation, and discuss how these can be integrated into demographic analysis.”
