Hampton Gaddy and Maria Gargiulo show why this method creates important problems for demographic and econometric work. https://www.demographic-research.org/articles/volume/52/23/

Mobile phone surveys are a promising tool for the rapid measurement of age-specific mortality in settings where face-to-face surveys are difficult to implement. Researchers computed mortality levels obtained from a national MPS conducted in 2021–2022 in Burkina Faso. https://www.demographic-research.org/articles/volume/52/16/

Conversely, job destruction, particularly for male workers, is a negative predictor of regional TFR. More detailed analyses suggest that in particular for women, job characteristics might be an important factor in the employment-fertility nexus. @labfam.bsky.social @chen-luo.bsky.social
