In this episode of VoxDevTalks, Tom Vogl joins us to discuss recent research with Frances Lu which studies the intergenerational persistence of inequality by focusing on grandmother-mother associations in the loss of a child. During the podcast, Tom Vogl outlines some of the broader implications of this work using pooled data from 119 Demographic and Health Surveys in 44 developing countries, which finds that compared to compatriots of the same age, women with at least one sibling who died in childhood face 39% higher odds of losing a child themselves.
