Pandemics have killed millions of people throughout history. How many deaths were caused by different pandemics, and how have researchers estimated their death tolls?
New model for population estimates gives more reliable results. E.g. it shows that the employment rate among people with foreign backgrounds in Sweden is higher than previously calculated by Statistics Sweden. www.su.se/english/divi... The model is developed by @mussino.bsky.social et. al.
www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... Our results demonstrate that over-coverage substantially affects demographic and economic indicators, particularly at typical migration ages, with mortality rates showing the largest bias at older ages.

When Advantage Turns into Risk: Older Migrants in Care Settings Faced Higher Covid-19 Mortality | Population Europe
The Covid-19 pandemic disrupted this pattern. During its first year, older migrants in care settings were significantly more likely to die than their Swedish-born counterparts. Even after controlling for prior diseases and other background factors, the disadvantage persisted.

The COVID-19 pandemic was mainly a health crisis, but it also caused big problems for people's jobs, money, and daily lives. People may have changed their plans during this time, like delaying having children. Migrants were hit harder by the pandemic compared to Swedish-born people.
Migrants’ and Natives’ Childbearing Intentions in Sweden During the COVID-19 Pandemic - Eleonora Mussino, Chiara Ludovica Comolli, 2025
The COVID-19 pandemic generated major health, social, and economic concerns that also influenced individuals’ childbearing decisions. Migrants have been disprop...

Migrants from low-income countries living in care settings in Sweden were more likely to die from Covid-19 than natives. The finding stands out, since elderly migrants in daily care usually have higher life expectancy than Swedish-born individuals in similar circumstances. doi.org/10.1093/eurp...

New #PopDigest! Do partners always see family planning the same way? A new study using @ggp.bsky.social data by @mussino.eu and Caroline Uggla suggests: not always—especially when their migration backgrounds differ. 🔗 tinyurl.com/4ztcn727
In Sweden most couples agreed not to have a(nother)child—consistent with record-low birth rates. Yet, the dynamics differed by couple composition: migrant couples were the most in sync about their fertility plans, native couples were in the middle, and native-migrant couples were the most divided.
