About me
Associate Professor (docent)
PhD, evolutionary anthropology, University College London (2015)
Caroline Uggla is a researcher at SUDA (Stockholm University Demography Unit), at the Sociology department, Stockholm University. Her research interests lie in partnership, family formation and related topics.
With a background in anthropology she has worked both with household survey data from sub-Saharan Africa to explore inequalities in health and polygyny, and broad population register data from developed countries to examine contextual effects on fertility and mortality. She is also interested in the effects of adult sex ratio skews on demographic outcomes.
