Elena Ambrosetti

Elena Ambrosetti serves as Associate Professor of Demography at Sapienza University of Rome's Department of Methods and Models for Economics, Territory and Finance. She holds editorial positions as Associated Editor for both Genus, Journal of Population Science and Sociology of Race and Ethnicity, and currently coordinates Sapienza's involvement in two major European Commission projects.

Her research program centers on Italian migration dynamics with specialized focus on migrant integration processes and policy frameworks. She maintains significant expertise in Mediterranean demographic patterns, particularly Egypt's fertility transition, while also investigating sexual and reproductive health disparities among migrant populations and the socioeconomic implications of population ageing on welfare systems. Her methodological approach combines demographic analysis with social policy evaluation.

Her documented publication output demonstrates consistent engagement with Egyptian demographic issues, particularly through her 2013 analysis of gender-based violence within shifting political and social contexts. This work exemplifies her regional specialization and interdisciplinary methodology.

As principal coordinator for Horizon 2020 projects PERCEPTIONS (grant 833870) examining migration-security-technology interfaces and COVINFORM (grant 101016247) analyzing pandemic information dynamics, she leads substantial research initiatives with € multi-million budgets and international consortia.

Her departmental affiliation within Sapienza's economics-focused unit reflects the quantitative and policy-oriented nature of her demographic research, bridging social science with economic modeling approaches to population studies.
