Undoubtedly, the COVID-19 pandemic has had and will continue to have a profound influence on human society for many years to come. By now, it has resulted in an unmistakable impact on core demographic processes—mortality, fertility, migration, family and marriage, and health—all around the world. Its impact on the core components of demographic change undergirds many other changes that have transformed society, be it in the arena of healthcare, geopolitics, macro-economies, or the environment. As Dommaraju (2020) observes, demographic analysis is useful in understanding the social aspects of population dynamics. This includes significant themes such as inequality, inequity, as well as differentials in demographic outcomes. Employing a social demographic lens towards analysing the pandemic can and has resulted in unique insights relating its effect on population dynamics. Preliminary studies have already produced interesting findings—Soneji et al. (2021) and Vanella et al. (2021) evaluate populationlevel mortality burden and excess mortality in light of the pandemic; Giorgi and Boertien (2021) and Bernardi et al. (2021) investigate the impact of pandemic confinement measures on socio-demographic inequality; and Furfaro et al. (2021) and Luppi et al. (2021) dive into the mobility strategies of individuals in light of containment measures. Desai (2021) highlights the challenges of demographic data collection during the pandemic, and Dommaraju (2020) notes that the pandemic has severely limited the collection of quantitative data, and calls for the increased need to focus attention on digital data and other innovative data collection methods and analyses. While research on demographic processes in the time of COVID-19 is gaining momentum, work on the Asian context is still by far more limited compared to the west. Emerging work published in this journal including questions around the impact of the pandemic on repatriation of migrant workers (Liao, 2020), mental health (Liu & Yin, 2023) and the migration regime (Yeoh, 2022) have only begun to make a contribution to understanding a wide spectrum of demographic issues in the long tail of the pandemic. In this light, this special section brings together population scholars working in and on Asia to discuss the following key questions:

ABSTRACT The SARS-CoV-2 virus (termed COVID-19) raised the mortality trends and diminished life expectancy globally. This study analyzes the age-sex patterns of COVID-19 deaths in India during 2020–2021 and how the age-sex patterns have changed between 2020 and 2021. We calculated the losses in the male-female life expectancy at birth (LEB) induced due to the pandemic by projecting pre-pandemic mortality trends into 2020 and 2021. The finding suggested that mortality rates have increased substantially due to COVID-19 in India, implying almost four years of losses of LEB in 2021. The age pattern of mortality differs by the years of the pandemic. In 2020, the disease disproportionately killed older people. In 2021, with the outbreak of COVID-19 delta variant infection, mortality also rose among younger adults. Moreover, in 2020, COVID-19 deaths were higher among males, whereas in 2021, mortality increased for both sexes. In conclusion, COVID-19 triggered a significant increase in mortality in India between 2020 and 2021, dragging the country to a lower LEB level in 2010–2011. The future impact of the pandemic is yet to be seen. Also, distinct age and sex differential COVID-19 health and socioeconomic impacts compel future researchers to include demographic heterogeneity in their study.

ABSTRACT Compared to other settings, COVID-19 infection and death rates in Hong Kong were very low until 2022, due to top-down interventions (e.g. quarantines, ‘mask mandates’) and community activation. However, in addition to these epidemiological circumstances, Hong Kong has also undergone significant social and political change stemming from the social movement beginning in 2019 through the enacting, and aftermath, of the National Security Law. We draw on registered birth and marriage data from 2015 through 2021 to explore how fertility and nuptiality changed after the social movement followed by the first four waves of the COVID pandemic. We describe how fertility and marriage rates have changed in Hong Kong and to what extent the changes are associated with the social movement and the COVID pandemic. We further disaggregate the fertility and nuptiality trends by Hong Kong-born and non-Hong Kong-born population, with a specific focus on migrants from the Mainland.

ABSTRACT Millions of lives in Asia were lost in the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, causing a reduction of 1.66 years in life expectancy at birth (e0 ) in 2019–2021 and a reduction of 1.41 years in life expectancy at age 60 (e60 ). Using the World Population Prospects 2022, we decomposed mortality changes at older ages (ages 60+) that contributed to Asia’s reduction in e0 and e60 . Overall, changes in mortality at older ages contributed to more than 70 per cent of reduction in e0 for all its subregions, except Eastern Asia (<37 per cent), and changes in mortality at oldest-old ages (80+) led to a reduction in e60 by 25 per cent. The sex difference in reduction of e60 varied across Asian countries, despite a similar pattern across subregions. These findings helped us understand the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on human mortality and the large variations across subregions and countries, which could have important policy implications.

ABSTRACT The benefits of having consistent and complete information on migration flows within, from and to Asia are numerous and worth the investment. They include a much better understanding of how migrants are responding to economic developments across Asia and how they are transforming both origin and destination societies. The challenges to producing international migration flow statistics in Asia, however, are immense. Hardly any countries provide data, and for those countries that do, they are often incomplete or incomparable with other countries' measures of migration. In order to produce comparable statistics on migration flows and immigrant population stocks, one needs a range of data sources and estimation strategies.
