Overview

Elizabeth Thomson is affiliated with Stockholm University in Sweden and conducts research primarily within the social sciences. Their work engages with various subfields including demography, gender studies, general health professions, sociology, political science, and health.

The research topics covered by Thomson span multiple areas related to family and social dynamics. Key subjects include family dynamics and relationships, demographic trends and gender preferences, intergenerational family dynamics and caregiving, employment and welfare studies, health disparities and outcomes, psychological well-being and life satisfaction, as well as assisted reproductive technology and twin pregnancy.

Thomson's recent publications reflect this diverse range of interests. Notable papers include:

  • "Childbearing across Partnerships in Europe and the United States" (2021), published in OPAL (Open@LaTrobe) (La Trobe University)
  • "The Black Country: A History in 100 Objects" (2020), published in Midland History
