Also we should consider that the number of unregistered births has increased along with various streams of immigration, particularly the undocumented steams

Having the 2024 census data will provide a better picture. We just need to wait a few more months

This is the same source reported by MoreBirths. I am unsure how MoreBirths arrived to that .88 figure

Latest report www.ine.gob.cl/docs/default...

That does not seem right. The latest offical figure I could find indicates a TFR of 1.17 in 2021 and I compute the TRF for 2024 using provisional pop estimates from INE: 1.14. This is assuming pop numbers from 2021 adjusted by survival rates.

This is great. I have been waiting for years for this work to be realised! Many thanks Josh. This will be a very valuable resource in so many areas!

7/ Our analysis also highlights the need for responsive transit systems that adapt to behavioral patterns. From peak-hour commutes to suburban connectivity, these insights are crucial for sustainable transport. 🌱 #ClimateAction

6/ Policy takeaways:
Prioritise areas >10 km from city centers with better bus routes.
Densify road networks where sparse, but avoid oversaturation.
Tailored solutions for varied rider needs improve service resilience. #SmartCities

5/ Machine learning revealed nonlinearities:
Beyond ~10 routes, adding bus routes has diminishing returns.
Long trips (>0.5 hrs) bring more temporal unpredictability.
Understanding these thresholds can inform smarter transit planning. 📊🚦

4/ Key findings:
Trips farther from urban centers (>10 km) show greater spatial variability.
Dense areas & bus route availability reduce unpredictability.
Both too few and too many roads can increase variability. #PublicTransport

3/ Using 20M trips from 1.9M passengers, we examined peak-hour bus rides in Beijing. Two key questions were addressed:
1️⃣ What drives spatial & temporal variability?
2️⃣ Are there tipping points where behavior shifts? 🔎

2/ Why it matters: To make public transport more attractive than cars, we need to understand:
How predictable are transit trips?
What factors influence this predictability?
This study reveals how built environments & travel habits shape bus use patterns. 🌍🚌

It’s probably a generalisation but it’s often what I have experienced

Similarly in academic it’s not that we want to put the big picture behind as a second priority but the methods and data often take priority

This is not to say that policy makers are not interested in robust methods and data but the focus on the evidence puts methods and data on the background

On the other hand, policy makers are much more focus on what all these sophisticated methods and data can tell us about the process they are interested.

In academia we want to produce robust evidence so we spend quite a lot of time developing sophisticated methods and engineered data to achieve this

Quick reflection it’s great to hear how your research is perceived from a very practical / policy oriented angle. It puts forward the tension and different focuses of academia and policy

Interesting - haven’t heard about the conference before

This is good to know. I now wonder in what context we care about zero flows.
comment in response to

Exactly - they are total flows
