Description

Professor Alan Marshall is a Social Statistician by training who is now Professor of Social Research on Inequality based on the School of Social and Political Science at the University of Edinburgh. His substantive research uses longitudinal data from social surveys in the UK and overseas to better understand the social and biological determinants of inequalities observed in health and wellbeing in later life. 

I have made methodological research contributions around the development of local estimates and projections of populations and of populations in poor health in collaboration with the UK's National statistical agencies and local authorities.
