Dr. Leeson is Co-Director of the Oxford Institute of Population Ageing and a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Oxford. He trained as a mathematician and statistician at Oxford and as a demographer at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and at the University of Copenhagen.
Dr. Leeson’s research interests are in the socio-demographic aspects of ageing populations, covering both demographic modelling of population development and the analysis of national and international data sets.
Dr. Leeson has directed the Danish Longitudinal Future Study, and he is Principal Investigator with Professor Sarah Harper on the Global Ageing Study.
Dr. Leeson’s current research includes the demographic inequalities of global ageing, the changing populations of Europe, migration and migrants in Europe, migration and fertility in Central and Eastern Europe, and the demographics of increasing longevity.
Dr. Leeson is a leading member of The Complex Environmental Population Interactions Project .
