Professor Alexandra Tragaki is a faculty member at Harokopio University of Athens, serving in the Department of Geography, where she holds the rank of Professor of Economic Demography. Her office is located in the Geography Building (Office 2.2) at 70 El. Venizelou, Kallithea, Athens, Greece.
Education:
- PhD in Economics (Specialisation in Economic Demography), Institut d’Études Politiques de Paris, 1997
- DEA in Economic Demography, Institut d’Études Politiques de Paris, 1993
- Degree in Mathematics, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens, 1992
Research Interests:
Professor Tragaki’s research centres on the complex interactions between demographic dynamics, economic performance, environmental sustainability and social policy. She investigates how population ageing, migration and fertility shifts influence labour markets, social security systems and environmental vulnerability. Her work integrates advanced statistical and spatial analysis to inform evidence-based policy making, particularly within the European context.
Across her extensive publication record, three dominant themes emerge: (1) mortality modelling and health transitions, often using sophisticated parametric distributions to forecast longevity and evaluate pandemic impacts; (2) fertility dynamics under economic stress, exploring how recessions, labour-market conditions and policy interventions shape reproductive behaviour; and (3) spatial demography and risk assessment, mapping population structures, coastal hazards and migration patterns across Greece and Europe.
