Rachel Margolis

Rachel Margolis is an Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Western Ontario. Her research focuses on how family dynamics influence population change in developed countries, with a specialization in demography, fertility patterns, population aging, and population health. Her work is currently supported by grants from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) and the Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR).

Her research interests emphasize the interplay between family structures and broader demographic trends, particularly in contexts of aging populations and health outcomes. She explores topics such as fertility decision-making, family formation patterns, and the societal implications of demographic shifts.

No specific scientific awards or grants are explicitly listed beyond her current SSHRC and CIHR funding. While affiliated with the Population Research Institute (PRI), her direct involvement in PRI’s NIH-funded infrastructure (P2CHD041025) is noted but not detailed further.
