Domantas Jasilionis

Domantas Jasilionis serves as a Research Scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) in Rostock, Germany, with dual affiliations in the Laboratory of Demographic Data and Laboratory of Migration and Mobility under the MaxHel Center. His work bridges demographic methodology and population health analysis, focusing on mortality patterns and data systems across Europe.

His research interests center on mortality inequalities, particularly examining socioeconomic, regional, and temporal disparities in life expectancy. Key areas include alcohol-related mortality in Eastern Europe, pandemic impacts on fertility and health, migration data quality, and methodological innovations in demographic estimation. Recent projects involve the Human Mortality Database, Monitoring Mortality Inequalities Consortium, and Mortality and Health in Germany initiatives.

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2023-2025) reveals three dominant trends: (1) rigorous investigation of alcohol policy impacts on Lithuanian mortality, (2) spatial analysis of mortality seasonality across European regions, and (3) methodological critiques of life expectancy measurement. His work frequently employs census-linked data to dissect educational and geographic mortality gradients.
