Ida Ljungström

I am a PhD student in Sociological Demography at Stockholm University Demography Unit (SUDA) and affiliated student at the International Max Planck Research School for Population, Health and Data Science (IMPRS-PHDS).

My dissertation focus on health trajectories in old age and determinants of old-age health and mortality, mainly using formal demographic methods and register data. I am interested in methodological approaches to identify and analyse the old-age population in the context of an aging society, as well as the relationship between formal homecare use and mortality.

My research interest spans broadly, apart from my dissertation work I am also involved in studying differences in ECEC enrolment among migrant-background and native-background children in Sweden, and writing a book chapter on self-assessed health using survey data. I nourish an interest in quantitative methods and teach at the advanced level in Event-History Analysis.

My supervisors are Sven Drefahl and Kieron Barclay.
