Today saw the publication of a paper analysing the long-term development of Nepal [1].  It offers insight into Nepal’s position in the country’s demographic transition in relation to its nutrition transition.  In traditional societies both fertility and mortality are high and in modern post-industrial society both are low.

The lead author Yagya Prasad Subedi is a Ph.D. student at the University of Aberdeen and his co-authors are based at Liverpool John Moores University (Prof. Padam Simkhada, who is also BU Visiting Faculty) and in the Centre for Midwifery, Maternal & Perinal Health (CMMPH) in the Faculty of Health and Social Sciences (Prof. Edwin van Teijlingen).
