I am an Associate Professor in Demography at the "Paolo Fortunati" Department of Statistics of the University of Bologna.

I study how people decide if and when to have children, especially in developed countries where economic uncertainty, job markets, and gender roles all play a part in shaping these choices. I’m also deeply interested in how families change over time, how inequality affects our lives, and how the paths we take in work and family shape our overall wellbeing.

I am the Principal Investigator of the research project (FIS2, 2025-2028) SO-UNFER, Social Uncertainty and Fertility, that investigates how economic and social uncertainty influence the childbearing decision process in low fertility countries.
