About the Presentation
Around the world, differences in age structure, fertility, migration and religious switching are producing big changes in the religious landscape. For a decade, Pew Research Center has been studying how demography is reshaping the size of religious groups as well as differences by religion in demographic outcomes, including how educational attainment around the world varies by religion. This seminar will present our latest research on:
- Which religious groups are growing fastest, and which major religious group is declining in number
- How immigration is reshaping Europe’s religious profile
- How religious commitment varies by age and gender
- How religion is related to happiness, health and civic participation
- & more!
Additionally, we will preview forthcoming work on differences around the world in household composition by religion.
