Council and Committee on Nominations Elections

Elections for IUSSP Officers and Council members for 2018-2021 will take place from 30 July to 1 October 2017. This year, IUSSP Members are also invited to select candidates for the 2021 Committee on Nominations.

To vote, log in on this link using the username and password which were sent by email to members included in the electoral list (i.e. full members who were in good standing on 30 June 2017).

IUSSP election procedures

The electoral list includes all (full) members who were in good standing by 30 June 2017.

Elections are now organized via the Internet, using a secure external online voting company, eBallot (formerly Votenet Solutions), an Internet voting service that provides online voting for a large number of associations and companies. Before the vote opens on 30 July, members will receive an email with their username and password so that they can access the ballot and vote.

The electoral procedure will be controlled by an Election Committee composed of Géraldine Duthé, Ann Moore and Julio Ortega.

The rules governing IUSSP elections can be found in Article 11 of the IUSSP Constitution.

Candidates for IUSSP Council

The Committee on Nominations nominated 2 candidates for each position on Council, including the two officer positions: the Vice President and the Secretary General and Treasurer. In the IUSSP Constitution, the Vice President succeeds to the President, who is therefore not elected directly. The ballot, however, will include a vote to elect the outgoing IUSSP President as Honorary President. Members were also invited to nominate additional candidates for Council. One additional candidate was proposed (with the required number of members in support of his candidacy) and will be added to the ballot.

Candidates proposed by the Committee on Nominations:

Vice President (President Elect 2022-25) (1 seat, two nominees)

Wang Feng (United States, China) / Shireen Jejeebhoy (India) Secretary General and Treasurer (1 seat, two nominees)

Patrick Deboosere (Belgium) / Nico van Nimwegen (Netherlands) Council member for Africa (1 seat, two nominees)

Ayaga Bawah (Ghana) / Jean-Francois Kobiané (Burkina Faso) Council member for Asia and Oceania (1 seat, two nominees)

Mohammad Jalal Abbasi-Shavazi (Iran) / Samir KC (Nepal) Council member for Europe (1 seat, two nominees)

Mikko Myrskylä (Finland) / Clémentine Rossier (Switzerland/Burkina Faso) Council member for Latin-America (1 seat, two nominees)

Wanda Cabella (Uruguay) / Suzana Cavenaghi (Brazil) Council member for North-America (1 seat, two nominees)

Irma Elo (United States) / David Lam (United States) Council Member at large (4 seats*, 8 nominees)

Sajeda Amin (Bangladesh) / Samuel Clark (United States) / Parfait Eloundou-Enyegue (Cameroon) / Edith Gray (Australia) / Fernando Lozano (Mexico) / Letizia Mencarini (Italy) / France Meslé (France) / Zitha Mokomane (Botswana)

Additional candidate proposed by the membership: Clifford Odimegwu (Nigeria), presented as candidate for Council member at large.

Candidates for the 2021 Committee on Nominations

According to the IUSSP Constitution, the Committee on Nominations is to be elected by the General Assembly (except for its chair, who is the outgoing President) and all its members must have different citizenships. Given that this procedure is potentially time-consuming and not particularly democratic, the IUSSP Council proposes this year that the membership select the members of the next Committee on Nominations through a vote, which will need to be formally ratified by the General Assembly in Cape Town.

The IUSSP Council selected 15 members, three from each of the five regions. In each region, the member receiving the most votes will be elected. In case of a tie, the Electoral Committee shall decide the result by lot. In addition to those five members, the next candidate who receives the most votes will also be elected (provided all members have different "first" citizenships) as 6 members need to be elected to the Committee on Nominations. The 2021 Committee on Nominations will be chaired by the current President, Anastasia Gage (Sierra Leone/United States).

Elections for the 2021 Committee on Nominations will be held concurrently with elections for the 2018-2021 Council (from 30 July to 1 October 2017). The electoral list will include all full members in good standing by 30 June 2017. (Student associates do not vote in the elections.)

Proposal for the amendment of the Constitution

A proposal to amend the Constitution is presented to members (see documents below).

This proposal is supported by all the members of the current Council and by several additional members to meet the required support of at least fifteen members of at least seven different nationalities. (see list)

Members are now invited to read the proposal and send their comments to constitutionalrevision@iussp.org at the latest by 15 September 2017.

PROCEDURE

Following the procedure described in the current Constitution (article 18), a Revision Committee will be appointed at the first General Assembly meeting in Cape Town to examine the proposed amendments. This Committee shall have the power to make minor modifications to the proposed amendments, provided these do not alter the intent. Comments from members sent by email will be compiled and communicated to this Committee. At the second General Assembly meeting in Cape Town, there will be a vote on the proposed amendments. If approved by at least two-thirds of the members present at the General Assembly, the amendments will be submitted to a final vote by internet of all IUSSP members. The revision shall become operative if a majority of votes have been cast in its favour.

RATIONALE

This revision does not seek to fundamentally alter the way the IUSSP functions. Its principal aim is to clarify, simplify, adapt the Constitution to new technologies and, last but not least, allow the IUSSP to adapt more easily to changes in the scientific and funding environments, if needed. Indeed, in the current Constitution, most changes require a General Assembly (which occurs only every 4 years).

The main changes would be:

The creation of a by-laws section, which can be changed by Council rather than through a Constitutional revision. The aim is to increase flexibility but also to include some additional written rules to guide the Council. These by-laws would include: a) articles dealing with the specific procedures pertaining to membership management, – these describe the way IUSSP functions since having switched to using online membership software; b) articles dealing with the details of the electoral procedures.

The possibility to organize an Online General Assembly of members, if the membership needs to be formally consulted without having to wait several years.

The possibility for the IUSSP to affiliate with other organizations without calling a General Assembly and the possibility for organizations to affiliate with the IUSSP (but without granting them voting rights).

A simplification of the Constitutional revision process.

The clarification of roles of the Council members, Officers and Executive Director.

IUSSP Seminar on Mortality Analysis: Past, Present and Future

Campinas, Brazil, 7-9 August 2017

Organized by the IUSSP Scientific Panel on Lifespan Extension with Varying Cause-of-death Trajectories, in collaboration with the University of Campinas, University of Minas Gerais, University of Rio Grande do Norte, Max Planck Odense Center, and the Australian National University.

Organizing Committee:

Luciana Alves (University of Campinas) Laeticia De Souza (University of Campinas) Marcos Gonzaga (University of Rio Grande do Norte) Bernardo Queiroz (University of Minas Gerais) Everton Lima (University of Campinas) Vladimir Canudas-Romo (Max-Planck Odense Center).

The International Seminar on Mortality Analysis: Past, Present and Futurewas held at the University of Campinas, Brazil, 7-9 August 2017. The meeting benefited from the generous support of the Danish Agency for Science, Technology and Innovation and of the University of Campinas. International attendants from Africa, North and South America and Europe also contributed with their own travel funds.

The scientific programme consisted in 17 presentations in regular sessions. A total of 60 participants attended the meeting, including demographers and other population scientists from Argentina, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Mexico, Venezuela, Romania, South Africa, Surinam, the United States as well as a strong representation of researchers from a variety of Brazilian institutions. The third day of the meeting was devoted to providing hands-on training in R on mortality analysis to PhD students attending the seminar.

Topics covered during the seminar focused on: mortality modeling at infancy and adult ages in regions with deficient data; mortality comparisons between educational groups and urban-rural locations; analysis of information from military and pensioner groups; mortality by causes with a particular focus on external causes of death in the region; mortality forecasting modeling and visualization tools.

The seminar highlighted issues that are still pending on the region’s research agenda and in demography in general. For example, the discrepancies existing between institutions in the region providing country specific data, and in particularly the lack of consistency between UN life expectancy trends and those published as official statistics by countries themselves. Other

13

intriguing cases of data omissions included work on external mortality, not-well-defined in the vital registers between homicides, suicides or accidents, which researchers tend to omit. The adaptation of relational life table models for the first years of life, or for regions with deficient data, were also a key element of the discussion. Old and new stronger methodologies of forecasting for the region and sub-region were highlighted as important elements as well.

In addition to the presentations and the feedback and debates and inspiration for future research, the seminar helped to initiate the conversation on having these types of seminars as a recurrent event. The two-day seminar was followed by one-day R-packages workshop, which it is hoped will be expanded into a longer one-week workshop on demographic tools: mathematical and R-programing demography.

IUSSP Seminar on Urban Health Transformations Cambridge, United Kingdom, 11-12 July 2017

Organizing Committee: Alice Reid, Romola Davenport, Richard Smith, Sophy Arulanantham (Cambridge Group for the History of Population and Social Structure, University of Cambridge); Diego Ramiro Fariñas (Spanish Council for Scientific Research).

The IUSSP Scientific Panel on Historical Demography and the Cambridge Group for the History of Population and Social Structure organized a Seminar on Urban Health Transformations, in Homerton College, Cambridge (United Kingdom) on 11-12 July 2017. The seminar was sponsored by the Wellcome Trust, the British Society for Population Studies (BSPS), the Galton Institute, the Population Investigation Committee, the Economic History Society, and Cambridge Cultural and Historical Geography (Department of Geography, University of Cambridge).

Current population trends are shaped by a long history of social, economic and demographic interactions. Recent advances in data and methods have enabled demographic responses to changing economic and social conditions to be differentiated by community context, household composition, and individual socioeconomic and demographic characteristics in a detailed comparative context. A prime example of such differentiated and contextualized analyses of demographic behavior in the past is the Eurasia Project on Population and Family History. It is however also applicable to a number of other recently constructed historical datasets based on household registers, family reconstitutions, genealogies, and other sources, as well as to the increasing number of contemporary datasets generated by panel surveys and administrative registers. However, most research so far has dealt either with contemporary issues or exclusively with the past. Around the world there are a number of new efforts to bridge past and present populations using data spanning long periods or by creating longitudinal datasets from synthetic cohorts. This way of linking the past to the present represents a unique opportunity for historical demography to contribute significantly to our understanding of current population problems.

The seminar brought together 32 participants from different regions of the world: Australia, Belgium, Cameroon, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Mexico, the Netherlands, Poland, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States. Nineteen papers were presented in seven sessions. The meeting addressed a variety of topics including how the nature of the urban setting affected mortality; intra-urban variations in health; mortality migration; sanitation and health; maternal health; and illness. Details on the content of the papers are available in the seminar report.

The seminar was concluded by a guest discussant, Tim Dyson of the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), who provided an insightful and (mainly) sympathetic closing commentary. During this he drew together some of the major themes of the seminar and raised some broader issues. These included the perennial problem of how to define ‘urban’ which challenges both historical and contemporary demographers, and the fact that the nature of the urban-rural contrast may change over time and with the level of urbanisation. Nevertheless, he noted that many of the issues covered by both historical and contemporary demographers are the same. He felt that this seminar brought these out very nicely and can be seen as a prima facie case for the establishment of a new IUSSP panel on the urban sector.

IUSSP Workshop on Climate, Migration & Health with a focus on refugee movements Boulder (Colorado), United States, 25-26 May 2017

In late May, 2017, the CU Population Center, Institute of Behavioral Science, at the University of Colorado Boulder, in collaboration with the IUSSP Scientific Panel on Migration, Climate & Health held a workshop exploring the linkages between climate, migration and health with a focus on refugee movements. The workshop was held at the University of Colorado Boulder and was supported by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (5R13HDE078101-03) and CU Boulder’s Institute of Behavioral Science.

The workshop’s objectives were to identify knowledge gaps as related to climate, displacement and health, and begin development of tangible outputs that bring forth those gaps and outline a research agenda. Ten researchers were chosen to participate representing primarily demography, sociology, geography, and economics. The workshop was indeed that – a workshop. Less emphasis was placed on participants presenting their own research in detail; more emphasis was placed on each scholar sharing their perspective on the 3-way connection and considering the places in the migration-climate-health triad within which their own expertise is best situated.

The structure of the workshop also emphasized group brainstorming to develop an overarching conceptual framework, followed by detailed discussion within smaller workgroups. The iteration between large and small group discussion moved participants toward an outline for an initital paper highlighting knowledge gaps. The paper further calls policymakers to consider the three-way interaction between migration-climate-health.

The workshop participants developed a conceptual framework to illustrate important connections between migration-climate-health while disaggregating all three components into constituent parts (e.g. short/long-term migration; acute/chronic environmental pressures; physical/mental health). The draft paper then uses a variety of existing research to illustrate important connections across dimensions of the migration-climate-health triad.

The workshop participants are finalizing the initial paper with the aim of submission to a high-impact scientific outlet by November 2017. The IUSSP Scientific Panel on Migration-Climate-Health is now moving forward with additional activities while also looking forward to another collaborative workshop during May 2018.

For more information about this meeting and its follow-up, IUSSP members may contact Lori Hunter (Lori.Hunter@colorado.edu).

Juan Chackiel (1944-2017)

Juan Chackiel, a distinguished Uruguayan demographer, died on July 4th in Santiago de Chile. He studied demography at CELADE (the Latin American and Caribbean Demographic Centre), where he then worked for the rest of his career. His research focused mainly on population growth and structure and its components, issues on which he published extensively. From 1987 to 2002 he was head of the Demography Area at CELADE, in charge of coordinating and supervising research and technical assistance in demographic analysis and data production. He also had editorial responsibilities in CELADE’s publications, the Boletín Demográfico and Notas de Población.

He became a member of the IUSSP in 1972 and was a member of the Committee on Biological and Social Correlates of Mortality (1981-1985) and then of the Panel on Adult Mortality (1989-1993). Together with Ian M. Timaeus and Lado Ruzicka, Juan edited the book Adult Mortality in Latin America published in 1996 by Oxford University Press and based on a Seminar organized by the IUSSP Committee on Adult Mortality.

Juan Chackiel will be gratefully remembered by several generations of Latin American demographers for his teaching. Not only was he technically proficient; it was easy to see that he loved to teach.

Juan, together with other advanced students, greeted us newcomers to CELADE’s courses back in 1970. Since then, he was my friend, a friendship which with time came to include his family and mine. He was generous and warm, dispensing affectionate smiles, ironical humor, and a place to stay if needed. All of us who knew him will miss Juan greatly.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing away of Prof. John Oyaro Oucho on August 5th2017 in Nairobi, Kenya. Prof Oucho was an IUSSP member and one of the founding members of the Union for African Population Studies (UAPS); he also served on a number of committees, especially on migration, as well as Secretary General of UAPS.

Prof. John Oucho is a renowned scholar of migration and population studies who has served on several advisory boards, consulted with numerous international institutions and published widely with exceptional contributions to policy on urbanization, migration and related issues. Prior to his death, Prof. John Oucho was based at the Population Studies and Research Institute, University of Nairobi.

Carlo Alberto Corsini (1935-2017) A few days ago, an aggressive cancer took the life, at 82 years of age, of one of the most important Italian historical demographers, Carlo Corsini. He was respected internationally for his work, not only as an academic, but also for his promotion of demography and historical demography during all these years.

Carlo Alberto Corsini, was born on March 11th, 1935 in Florence, Italy. He completed his university studies in 1961, graduating in Economics from the Faculty of Economics of the University of Florence. Between 1961 and 1963 he became a Professor of Accounting at the Duca d'Aosta Technical Institute in Florence and collaborated at the same time as volunteer assistant of Economic History with Federigo Melis at the University of Florence. In 1963 he joined as an assistant in charge of Statistics at the Faculty of Economics, where he worked with the historical demographer Pierfrancesco Bandettini, an expert in the demography of Tuscany during the 19th century. After the sudden death of Bandettini in 1964, Carlo Corsini was appointed assistant professor of Demography in 1964 and Lecturer in 1971. In 1976 he was appointed Professor of Demography at the Faculty of Economics of the University of Perugia and finally, at the end of 1976, he went back to the Faculty of Economics of the University of Florence as professor of Demography, where Massimo Livi Bacci was already teaching since 1966. The Department of Statistics, in which they both taught, will become one of the benchmarks of European demography and historical demography for many years, based not only on the quality of its academic production, but also on Carlo and Massimo’s sustained friendship. Carlo taught Statistical courses at the School of Social Services; Judicial Statistics, Social Demography at the Faculty of Economics and Historical Demography at the Faculty of Letters and the Faculty of Economics. During his sabbatical year 1998-99 he was lecturer at the University of the Sorbonne in Paris.

During his career, Carlo had vast intellectual interests. In his abundant production, he constantly sought to unveil the complex relationships between popular culture and demographic behaviour, believing that where there is the "smell of human flesh" there are territories to explore within historical demography. As a curious and enlightened man, he worked on a variety of research topics: the social structure and the history of the family, especially the Tuscan family from the fourteenth to the twentieth century; as a related theme, the story of abandoned children and breastfeeding, to which he dedicated much of his career, working with the magnificent archive of the Ospedale degli Innocenti in Florence; mortality (especially child mortality), with the coordination of several seminars, together with Pier Paolo Viazzo and sponsored by UNICEF, publishing widely on the subject; temporary migrations; the distribution and evolution of surnames over time; the evolution of stature, through the study of military records, coordinating the project MIUR-PRIN Statura, salute and migrazioni: le leve militari italiane; and the elaboration of large databases like the transcription of the Tuscan Census of 1841. He had just recently finished working on a volume to be published very soon entitled Una prima indagine di demografia storica del Trentino attraverso i cognomi as well as on an article written with Alessio Fornasin, I matrimoni e del matrimoniale nel Granducato di Toscana (1840-42), which will appear in the next issue of the journal Popolazione e Storia.

Carlo was also President of the Group of Demography at the Società Italiana di Statistica; President of the degree of specialization in "Population and Society" at the University of Florence; member of the IUSSP Historical Demography Panel between 1980 and 1985; President of the Società Italian di Demografia Storica, between 1990 and 1997 and Editor of the journal "Popolazione e Storia" (formerly "Bollettino di Demografia Storica"), Società Italiana di Demografia Storica. He was a longtime IUSSP member, attending seminars and International Population Conferences since London 1969.

Carlo leaves a wife, Ida, two daughters, Veronica and Chiara, and three grandchildren. And we are left without a scholar who, with his charisma, his brilliant sense of humour, his generosity, his sharp and quick intelligence and his theatrical sense of speaking and acting in conferences and seminars kept everyone's attention. We will miss him.

Diego Ramiro Fariñas, Chair of the IUSSP Panel on Historical Demography
