I am a social demographer studying low fertility and family change in postindustrial societies, with a particular focus on South Korea, East Asia, and cross-national comparison. My research examines how structural conditions—such as labor-market transformation, economic precarity and uncertainty, and institutional constraints—interact with cultural expectations surrounding family formation to shape individuals' decisions about long-term commitments. Research from this line of inquiry has been published in Demography, Population and Development Review, European Sociological Review, and Chinese Sociological Review.
