Sven Drefahl is a Senior Lecturer in Demography at Stockholm University's Department of Sociology, affiliated with the Stockholm University Demography Unit (SUDA). His research focuses on migration and mortality, determinants of health disparities (e.g., COVID-19 mortality), and aging population dynamics. He uses Swedish register data to analyze population-level trends, emphasizing longitudinal and interdisciplinary approaches. His work bridges Demography, Sociology, Epidemiology, and Statistics.
Research interests include migration health paradoxes, socioeconomic determinants of mortality, and methodological innovations in demographic analysis. Notable projects address over-coverage biases in population registers and the health consequences of migration across generations.
Publications highlight studies on migrant mortality advantages, pandemic mortality patterns, and demographic methodological challenges. He collaborates internationally, with studies in Denmark and Sweden. His teaching includes advanced demographic and statistical methods, reflecting expertise in survival analysis and microsimulation.
Key contributions include analyses of age gaps in partnerships, cohabitation effects on mortality, and the societal impact of aging populations. His work informs policy on health equity and immigrant integration through evidence-based insights derived from large-scale data.
