Introduction
Zhongwei Zhao graduated from University of Cambridge (PhD), University of Exeter (MA), and Peking University (BA).
Zhongwei Zhao is currently a Professor at the Australian Demographic and Social Research Institute, College of Arts and Social Sciences, the Australian National University. Prior to taking up the present appointment, he was a senior research associate at the Cambridge Group for the History of population and Social Structure, a Bye-Fellow at Pembroke College, University of Cambridge, a senior fellow/fellow/research fellow at the Australian National University, a post-doctoral fellow at the University of New South Wales and the East-West Centre of Hawaii, and a researcher at Peking University.
Research
Zhongwei Zhao has been doing research in the following areas: simulating changes in kinship structure and household composition, fertility behaviour in China in the past, using genealogies for demographic research, changes in kinship networks in Victorian England, Chinese migrants in Australia, and examination of the United Nations 1982 model life tables, especially the Far Eastern mortality model. At present, his major research activities concentrate on investigating health transition and mortality changes in East Asia.
