The effect of number of siblings on adult mortality: Evidence from Swedish registers for cohorts born between 1938 and 1972.

Demographic research has paid much attention to the impact of childhood conditions on adult mortality. We focus on one of the key aspects of early life conditions, sibling group size, and examine the causal effect of growing up in a large family on mortality. While previous studies have focused on low- or middle-income countries, we examine whether growing up in a large family is a disadvantage in Sweden, a context where most parents have adequate resources, which are complemented by a generous welfare state.

A quantitative literature review (a meta-analysis) was conducted to investigate the temporal change in the relationship, net of inter-study differences.
