A few highlights: In August, we were discussing current health inequalities research and planning future collaboration with the Center for Health Equity Studies (CHESS, Stockholm University) in the Swedish Archipelago. In November, we met our colleagues in Rostock at the Max Planck – University of Helsinki Center for Social Inequalities in Population Health (MaxHel Center) annual meeting. Between June 2024 and February 2025, PopHel researchers have presented their research more than 15 different international or national meetings, started five new funded projects, published over 60 academic articles, hosted 10 visiting researchers, and welcomed five new researchers to Helsinki.
Apart from all the scientific activities, we planted tulip bulbs during our annual Harvest Festival and awarded Juha Luukkonen as the Gardener of the Year, completed multiple puzzles with 1,000 pieces or more, and sang plenty of karaoke.

PopHel Talks – new online seminar
On the 10th of February, we kicked off our new online seminar series PopHel Talks that is open to all. In these talks, researchers at PopHel, current visiting researchers, or guest speakers will give 30-minutes presentations (+15-minute discussion) on their current research. Please, feel free to share our invitation to PopHel talks with colleagues who may be interested.
The next presentation will be on the 24th of March 2025 at 14:00 Eastern European Time by Aapo Hiilamo (Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research and MaxHel Center) on Children’s out-of-home care in Finland, 1993–2020: lifetime risks, expectancies, exit routes, and number of placements for synthetic cohorts.
Up to date information on upcoming talks can be found on our website. Please register here for a Zoom link to the seminar.
We have opened two positions for postdoctoral researchers on social inequalities in health connected to Pekka Martikainen’s ERC Advanced Grant “Social inequalities in population health: integrating evidence from longitudinal, family-based and genetically informed data” and the Max Planck – University of Helsinki Center for Social Inequalities in Population Health (MaxHel). Deadline for applications is the 14th of March 2025. More details can be found here.

His research interests include population health, mortality, migration, their links with climate change, and social and geographic inequalities in health and mortality. He is also interested in formal demography and statistical methods for modeling demographic processes. At PopHel, he is currently studying the health and mortality profile of internal and international migrants relative to the native-born population as well as the role of migration in shaping geographic inequalities in health and socioeconomic indicators.

Anna Leuwer started as a doctoral researcher at PopHel in October 2024. She completed her master’s degree at the university of cologne in social research, with a specialization in econometric and psychometric methods and their application in causal inference. In her master's thesis, she investigated trends in mental health through a birth cohort comparison among German young adults between 2002 and 2020.Her research interest lies in the field of population health, with a particular focus on social inequalities in younger age groups and their roots in intergenerational interdependencies, such as socio-economic family background and childhood circumstances. Other areas of interest include health-risk behaviors and mental health, as well as the study of long-term changes in health inequalities and their determinants. At PopHel, she will investigate social disparities in harm associated with substance abuse among Finnish adolescents, their variability across birth cohorts, and their consequences for health and social status at subsequent life-stages.
