Your biography in 150 words...

Sha Jiang is an Assistant Professor in the Division of Social Science at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. She is a social demographer studying how population change reshapes aging, family life, health, and social inequality. Her work starts from a broad question: when fertility declines and lives become longer, how do people and societies organize support, and who becomes more vulnerable?? She examines these questions using formal demographic models, statistical approaches, and large-scale data. She received her Ph.D. from Stanford University and was previously a Research Scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research and a Postdoctoral Scholar at the University of California, Berkeley.
