Sven Drefahl

Researcher at the Demography Unit of Stockholm University.

I am Associate Professor (Docent) in Demography and I am currently studying the relationship between migration and mortality, determinants of COVID-19 mortality, and the ageing of the Swedish population. The majority of my research is based on individual-level register data of the total Swedish population. Beyond that I am also interested in international trends of health and mortality and demographic methods.

I am currently teaching demographic methods and statistical methods at the advanced level. Given that I am a Demographer using mainly longitudinal register data I have expert knowledge on most flavours of hazard regression (aka survival analysis, aka event-history analysis). I have also a longstanding interest in demographic microsimulations.
