MPRC Research

MPRC's research falls within one of the four thematic areas listed below

FAMILY & FERTILITY

MPRC's research on family processes has grown to include the following key areas: 1) time use and parenting; 2) family change and subgroup variation; and 3) men’s role in the family. : : MORE


SOCIAL & ECONOMIC INEQUALITY

Research in this area focuses on three important topics: 1) labor market inequalities in the U.S.; 2) causes and consequences of social inequality; and 3) policies and programs that impact the poorest of the poor. Much of the research uses large-scale, restricted-use data or innovative samples that have been, to date, used sparingly in population research. : : MORE


HEALTH PROCESSES & AGING

Research in this area is assembled in four categories: 1) determinants of infant, child, and youth health; 2) infectious disease and limiting their spread; 3) Impact on health of care systems and social programs; and 4) health transitions and disability in old age.

DATA & METHODS FOR POPULATION RESEARCH

Population research centers have long played a crucial role in the development of new and innovative data for analysis. MPRC also has become a major facilitator of data products for population research, although we do so in a way that is unique within the population community. MPRC focuses its efforts on two activities to enhance the availability of high quality data for research, and both activities revolve around the comparative advantage of the Center’s proximity to federal statistical agencies.
