Background:
Samir Soneji received a BS in Mathematics at the University of Chicago, MA in Statistics at Columbia University, and is completing his PhD in Demography at Princeton University. His research interests include formal demography, disability, mortality, and reproductive health. His current work examines the relationship between the future of mortality and social security solvency. He plans to expand this work to look at the demographic implications on public pension and public healthcare programs in developed and developing nations. His other work has furthered demographic methodology in measuring healthy life expectancy and has applied this advance to assess racial and sex disparities across birth cohorts. As a Health and Society Scholar, Samir will also take a broader look at disability and its consequences throughout the life course. In particular, some of the questions he would like to look at are whether contraception is constrained among disabled women and what the links are between mental and physical disability.
