Angelo Lorenti

Angelo Lorenti serves as a Research Scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) in Rostock, Germany, within the Labor Demography research group and the MaxHel Center. His role involves conducting advanced demographic research with a focus on labor market dynamics, retirement transitions, and health outcomes across the life course.

Dr. Lorenti's primary research areas encompass demography, labor demography, retirement, fertility, health disparities, working-life expectancy, disability, cognitive health, gender inequalities, and educational inequalities. He leads projects on the determinants and consequences of retirement, education disparities in health from the European East-West perspective, and working-life expectancy at older ages, utilizing sophisticated demographic methods and large-scale datasets.

Analysis of his recent publications (2019-2025) reveals a strong emphasis on multistate modeling of health and labor trajectories, decomposition of inequality trends, and cross-national comparisons. Key themes include the interplay between retirement and volunteering, educational gradients in disability-free life expectancy, cognitive health disparities by gender and education, and the socioeconomic impacts of fertility trends and economic recessions.

Within the MPIDR, Lorenti contributes to the Labor Demography group and the MaxHel Center, collaborating on interdisciplinary projects that investigate the demographic dimensions of population health, labor force participation, and sustainable well-being in aging societies.
