Located in the vibrant and beautiful capital of Sweden, Stockholm University’s Demography Unit (SUDA) is an international group of scholars working on many facets of population dynamics. The group provides a unique expertise in family, gender, and policy research as well as in analyzing large-scale register data. Recent research projects have addressed questions such as:

· How do social policies affect family formation, childbearing, and dissolution?

· How long can we live?

· How did the upheaval in post-communist countries affect family formation and health?

· How do gender relations shape the division of paid and unpaid work?

· How does family breakup affect the well-being of adults and children?

· How does immigration change family life?

As an acknowledgement of SUDA’s success, demography is designated as a leading research area at Stockholm University. The unit maintains active links to leading research institutions, including Karolinska Institutet (KI), the Center for Health Equity Studies (CHESS), and the Swedish Institute for Social Research (SOFI).
