Skirbekk is interested in the demography of religion globally. His research also focuses on understanding the links between culture, demographic change, health and productivity. He has done extensive work on value-based fertility variation across the world, studied cultural determinants of childbearing patterns as well as projection of attitudes, beliefs, and values and traits.\u00a0 Skirbekk received an ERC grant that allowed him to conduct a joint venture with PEW to gather what may be the largest collection and projections of data on religion around the world, and his group also carried out global projections of religions for 199 countries. Skirbekk\u00b4s research has received considerable attention in media (e.g., BBC, the New York Times, The Economist, New Scientist) and academic journals (Demography, Science and Proceedings of the National Academy of Science). He has received research support from EU funding bodies, and various national research councils.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em> <\/p>\n Dr. Tuomas Martikainen, Migration Institute of Finland\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong> Estimating Future Religious Diversity in Finland<\/em><\/p>\n Dr. Tuomas Martikainen is the Director of the Migration Institute of Finland.
