๐Ÿ“‘ A new paper by CPC-CG members introduces the first method that can predict how many relatives of any kind a person is likely to have at different points in their life, and how likely each outcome is:

Image shows front cover of Demographic Research journal article: Probabilistic projections of distributions of kin over the life course
By Joe Butterick, Jason Hilton, Jakub Bijak, Peter W F Smith, Erengul Dodd with abstract excerpt text: 

Background: Mathematical kinship demography is an expanding area of research. Recent papers have explored the expected number of kin a typical individual should experience. Despite the uncertainty of the future number and distributions of kin, just one paper investigates it.

Objective: We aim to develop a new method for obtaining the probability that a typical population member experiences one or more of some kin at any age through the life course.
