 ffee and cake. We are very pleased to welcome: \n\nJosé Manuel Aburto\nB
 rass Blacker Associate Professor in Demography\, London School of Hygien
 e and Tropical Medicine\n\nTitle: Post-Pandemic Mortality and Parental L
 oss: Racial/Ethnic Inequalities in a Changing Health Landscape\n\nAbstra
 ct: Here is the abstract: Life expectancy\, a central indicator of popul
 ation health\, was severely disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic\, prompti
 ng renewed attention to cause-specific mortality patterns and their indi
 rect effects on population well-being. In this talk\, I will present up-
 to-date mortality trends to assess whether life expectancy has fully rec
 overed to pre-pandemic levels\, whether it aligns with trajectories expe
 cted in the absence of the pandemic\, and how cause-of-death profiles ha
 ve shifted in recent years. I will also examine how these mortality chan
 ges intersect with social inequalities by analysing parental loss in the
  USA from 2000–2023\, a period marked by life-expectancy stagnation and 
 sharp mortality shocks. Using vital statistics and focusing on drug- and
  alcohol-related deaths\, suicides\, homicides\, and cardiovascular dise
 ases\, we estimate annual parental loss among children under 18 and anal
 yse disparities by race/ethnicity with a newly developed indicator. Our 
 findings reveal rising levels of orphanhood—heightened during the pandem
 ic—with substantial racial/ethnic disparities with drug overdoses emergi
 ng as the leading contributor among White and Hispanic families\, cardio
 vascular mortality remaining predominant among Black families\, and homi
 cides disproportionately affecting Black children. These results highlig
 ht the evolving landscape of mortality and its unequal consequences for 
 families and children in the post-pandemic era.\n\n
