Bio.
Wanying Ling (凌宛莹) 
is a PhD student in the Department of Sociology at the University of Hong Kong.
My research operates at the intersection of demography, sociology, and epidemiology, focusing on three core topics: work, health, and migration. I study various non-standard forms of work, examining their determinants and consequences. I also explore multidimensional measures of health and well-being, as well as their inequalities across the life course, particularly in the context of population aging. Additionally, I am interested in family-related migration, specifically its drivers and implications through the lenses of work and health. I employ a wide variety of multi-source data—including census records, social surveys, interviews, biographies, and biomarkers—alongside quantitative and computational methods to delve into these topics.
My recent research interests include: health implications of non-standard employment; workers in the informal economy; unpaid domestic and care work.
