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.

While a large number of studies assumed gendered socialisation leads to partner abuse, little evidence exists for India. We bridge this crucial gap by exploring the pathways between childhood socialisation and intimate partner violence, using data 'Youth in India: Situation and Need Study (2006-2007)' for 5573 young married men (15-29 years). Nearly 17 per cent of men inflicted physical IPV in the past 12 months. Seventy-seven per cent recognized the experience of gender discrimination in their family and reported exposure to violence in two ways-one-third witnessed fathers abusing their mothers and 48 per cent were beaten by their parents. Adverse childhood experiences were associated with IPV perpetration. The structural equation model indicated significant pathways between IPV and childhood socialisation in the forms of experienced violence and gender discrimination. Findings underscore the importance of a violence-free, gender-neutral family environment for young generations and call for a comprehensive policy to ameliorate the impacts of IPV.

ABSTRACT Pakistan is the seventh largest contributor to world urban growth and exhibits high levels of urbanization. The recent 2017 Population Census results show a slowing of urban growth. We question whether this apparent slowdown reflects lowering of the rate of natural increase and migration, or is the result of a disconnect between the administrative definition of urban and actual reality. Alternative estimates presented here suggest that the 2017 Census may have underestimated urbanization by as much as 22.2 per cent, that is, the actual level of urbanization may be 44.5 per cent compared to 36.4 per cent reported in the census. We decompose the urban growth to assess the relative impact of natural increase, reclassification and migration and we utilize alternative methods of classification of urban areas to assess urbanization levels for Pakistan and its provinces. Continuing high levels of urban fertility and natural increase are the major contributors to urban growth. Internal migration is the next biggest contributor, however directions of movements may be changing. These findings have implications for the forthcoming 2022 census to improve the enumeration of urban areas and for urban planning to take advantage of the beneficial effects of building connectivity between small, medium, and large cities.
