Using demographic quantitative methods, Christine Percheski studies economic inequality, families, and health policy in the United States. Her current research portfolio includes investigations into economic transfers among siblings in adulthood, the demography of siblings, cohort changes in gender and racial wage gaps, and differences in family patterns such as marriage, divorce, and fertility between military veterans and civilians. Percheski explores variations in PrEP prescription rates related to public health infrastructure across U.S. counties. Her work addresses questions about employment patterns for college-educated women across different birth cohorts, the health characteristics associated with relationship stability among married and cohabiting parents, and the disparate impacts of the Great Recession on intended and unintended pregnancy rates. She also assessed trends in wealth among households with children compared to those with elderly individuals, focusing on variations related to family structure and racial gaps in wealth among children.
