Research Interests:
Natalie Jackson is Professor of Demography and Director of the Population Studies Centre at the University of Waikato. She gained her PhD in Demography from the Australian National University, and holds Bachelor and Master of Social Science degrees in demography and anthropology from the University of Waikato.
Natalie has recently returned to New Zealand after 15 years in Australia, the last 11 spent at the University of Tasmania where she was Director of the Demographic Analytical Services Unit and taught and supervised students undertaking population-oriented studies.
Most of Natalie’s research has focused on the different drivers and patterns of population ageing unfolding across and within Australia and New Zealand, and the consequences of these trends for a broad range of social and economic institutions such as education, the labour market, local, state and federal government, and business in general. Her other research areas are fertility trends, feminist demography, socio-demographic differentials between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians and New Zealanders, and the ‘disparate impact’ of policy on minority groups.
While in Australia, Natalie was directly involved in the ‘gearing up’ for population ageing as a member of several government committees, working groups and roundtables on population ageing. Among these were the Federal Government’s ‘Building Ageing Research Capacity’ (2003-2004) and the ARC-NHMRC Working Group on ‘Ageing Well, Ageing Productively’ (2004-2005). Since 2001 she has given around 120 invited addresses on related topics to a broad range of government and industry conferences and seminars, and 220 media interviews.
Natalie is the author of 86 published articles, book chapters, research and consultancy reports and other scholastic output. She runs a website in the public domain on Tasmania-specific population issues (http://www.taspop.tasbis.com). In 2002-2004 Natalie was Vice President of the Australian Population Association, and in 2006 and 2007 its national president. In 2003 she was Founding Editor and Member of Editorial Board, J. Applied Population and Policy.
