team-ewaEva Beaujouan has joined the EURREP project in June 2012. She is particularly interested in trends in fertility and partnership, and in the change in individual family behaviours. Within the EURREP framework, she gathers data from a dozen industrialised countries in order to reconstitute cohort trends in fertility intentions and fertility by level of education. This is complemented with more detailed work at both individual and aggregate level on change in the interrelationship between partnership and fertility.
