🇮🇹 **Archaeogenetics reconstructs demography and extreme parental consanguinity in a Bronze Age community from Southern Italy**

"_The community shows closer genetic affinity to Early Bronze Age Sicilians than to contemporaneous populations from the Italian peninsula. However, unlike contemporary Sicilian individuals, they lack eastern genetic influences, suggesting distinct ancestral trajectories and interaction networks among Bronze Age populations._"

You can't betray #demography, as you can't play with physics. Italy, China, Poland: all have failed in making people have more kids. The only thing that helps is ... multi cultural approaches.

Front cover of the Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies article 'The situated and everyday cultivation of transcultural capital in educational and home settings for migrant youth in Scotland' by Helen Packwood & Nissa Finney.
ABSTRACT
Scholars have identified that many young migrants employ transcultural capital to navigate difference in everyday life. In some cases, this enables migrants to resist social marginalisation, articulate empathy and challenge social hierarchies. This paper focuses on the significance and potential of the school, family and neighbourhood environments in the everyday cultivation of transcultural capital. To do this, we highlight the narratives of young migrants (age 16–18) in their final years of compulsory education, derived from a larger mixed-methods study on educational transitions in Scotland. This paper argues that (1) there is considerable variability between young migrants in the identification, development and mobilisation of transcultural capital and such capital is not to be assumed for migrant young people; (2) the ability to realise transcultural capital as an asset is highly situated in everyday contexts. This paper concludes that in order for transcultural capital to be mobilised, institutional contexts including schools need to have greater awareness of the processes through which transcultural capital can be nurtured for young migrants and a more intentional approach to fostering it.

New video: Watch Ayse Guveli from the University of #Warwick in our #CPCCGWebinar from last week. She discussed the 2000 #Families and The Third Generation projects which aim to reveal the consequences and the long-term impact of #migration on #migrants from Turkey and on their three #generation #descendants by comparing them to their non-migrant counterparts in #Turkey:

"Falling birth rates have also put young people at a structural disadvantage in democracies. Because there are less of them, they can be and often are outvoted by older generations."

Heard this in a YT video. That's something interesting to think about: how demography shapes democracy and relative power of generations.

A screenshot of a Springer Nature webpage for a BMC Medicine research article titled ‘Modelling the joint impact of early life interventions on adult health: an illustrative example of multiple long term conditions with role limitations in midlife using the 1970 British Cohort Study (BCS70)’. The page shows the publication date, open access label, a download PDF button and the list of authors: Sebastian Stannard, Ann Berrington, Nida Ziauddeen, Simon D. S. Fraser, Shantini Paranjothy, Rhiannon K. Owen and Nisreen A. Alwan. The abstract section is visible, beginning with the background on limited evidence about early childhood policy interventions that can prevent or delay multiple long term conditions, and noting that the study modelled prevention scenarios using five early life domains with real life intervention data.

CPC-CG member Professor Ann Berrington will discuss #partnership and #fertility trajectories, drawing on #data from the 1970 #British #Cohort Study (#BCS70), as part of the #UCL #Quantitative #SocialScience and Centre for #Longitudinal Studies seminar series.
