Introduction
I am an expert on historical demography currently working in the project "Diversity and dynamics. The population of Curacao 1839-1950". This project aims to reconstruct the entire population of Curacao between 1839 and 1950, which will provide an invaluable source for the general public interested in genealogy and family history as well as open up new fields of scholarly research in the history of the Caribbean, of colonial societies and of slavery.

Previous research on the impact of parental loss on labor market outcomes in adulthood has often suffered from low sample sizes. To generate further insights into the long-term consequences of parental death, I use the Historical Sample of the Netherlands (HSN). The HSN contains occupational information on life courses of a sample of more than 8,00...
The death of a parent during childhood is a major traumatic event. While there is a good understanding of the early-life effects of parental loss, the evidence regarding its impact on adult mortality is still scarce. Accordingly, the aim of this article is to study the long-term consequences of parental loss on mortality with a particular focus on...
The COVID‐19 pandemic has affected economies, labor markets, health care, education and tourism around the globe in unprecedented ways. However, little research has yet been devoted to the impact that the pandemic might have had on internal migration. This study aims to address this gap by determining how the intensity and spatial patterns of inter...
Previous research shows that parentally bereaved children in north-western Europe in the past left home earlier than children who lived together with both biological parents. This article analyses the mechanisms behind this phenomenon with a special focus on the routes out of the parental household and the entry of step-parents and step-siblings. T...
We investigate how experiencing parental death in infancy, childhood, or adolescence affected individuals' health using two distinct measures: mortality before age 20 and young adult height. Using two complementary indicators of health enables us to gain more insights into processes of selection and the scarring of health. Employing nationally repr...
The reunification of the socialist German Democratic Republic and the capitalist Federal Republic of Germany presents a unique setting for studying the impact of socioeconomic and political change on migration. This paper provides a comprehensive review of the interdisciplinary literature on migration between East and West Germany since reunifi cat...
Purpose
Previous research indicates that accompanying partners often struggle to find employment upon international relocations. This study aims to highlight diplomat’s partners’ employment situation and to examine how unrealized professional aspirations affect their socio-cultural and psychological adjustment in the foreign environment.

Purpose
Drawing on social learning theory (SLT), this study aims to investigate how previous cross-cultural work experience influences individual adjustment in a foreign environment over time. For this purpose, the authors study foreign service employees who are characterized by permanent high mobility and frequent rotations.

We investigate how parental death in infancy, childhood and adolescence affects boys’ health using two distinct measures: mortality before age 20 and height in young adulthood. These indicators enable us to identify critical age periods at which parental loss was most harmful for health, and to gain more insights into the mechanisms at play. Employ...
Thanks to the construction of large databases such as LINKS and GENLIAS based on Dutch civil certificates, our knowledge of individual demographic behavior in the past has improved significantly. However, the use of such research infrastructures also introduces some potential pitfalls, as these databases do not contain all information available fro...
In this article we study the question why the sex ratio among the enslaved population of plantation workers reversed from a male to a female surplus between 1830 and the abolition of slavery in 1863. We use the Historical Database of Suriname (HDS) to answer this question in three steps. First, we give a broad overview of the changing sex ratios in...
Background
The COVID-19 pandemic poses the risk of overburdening health care systems, and in particular intensive care units (ICUs). Non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs), ranging from wearing masks to (partial) lockdowns have been implemented as mitigation measures around the globe. However, especially severe NPIs are used with great caution due...
Background: After losing a population of more than 1.2 million through migration to the West, in 2017 East Germany recorded net internal migration gains for the very first time since reunification.
Objective: In consideration of this trend reversal, we investigate internal migration patterns between East and West Germany since reunification and dis...
Die Bevölkerungsentwicklung eines Landes oder einer Region wird durch die Geburten, Ster-befälle und Wanderungsbewegungen bestimmt. Hoch entwickelte Länder wie Deutschland zeichnen sich durch relativ niedrige Geburten- und Sterblichkeitsraten aus, die sich zwischen den einzelnen Regionen des Landes nur in geringem Maße unterscheiden. Wenn sich regi...
Parental death in childhood, which is often referred to as demographic stress, is
a traumatic event that may influence an individual’s life course in many different
ways. This doctoral thesis therefore aims to investigate how individuals responded
to parental death in the family and how this potential threat to their well-being
affected children’s...
Database of the slave registers of Suriname from 1830 to 1863, including all books of the slave registers still in existence. The dataset contains 161,790 individual records.
The slave registers of Suriname were kept uptodate continuously from 1826 until the abolition of slavery in the Dutch colonies on the 1st of July 1863. This database contains...
BACKGROUND
This article examines the impact of parental death in childhood, adolescence, and adulthood on male and female age at marriage in the Netherlands in the period 1850–1940. It follows an interdisciplinary approach as it considers explanations based on social and demographic history and evolutionary biology.
OBJECTIVE
We study the classical...
This article examines parental coping strategies in response to the death of a partner in the Netherlands in the period 1863–1910. The author concentrates on two largely neglected strategies in particular: separation of widowed parent and minor child and the outmigration of the entire household to another municipality. The rich population register...

Project to create a database with an overview of the population of Suriname and Curacao between 1830 and 1950, which includes population records.
LONGPOP aims to create network to utilize different research teams to share experiences, construct joint research, create a training track for specialist in the field of data management and statistical techniques and increase the number of users of these large– possibly underused –longitudinal population registers and large research databases, making more scientists and stakeholders aware of the richness in the databases.
LONGPOP network is made up of 15 Early-Stage Researchers, 10 beneficiaries and 1 partner (Europe), and external collaborators (USA).
LONGPOP project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under the Marie Sklodowska-Curie grant agreement No 676060.
