Rokhui (Roki) Son is a PhD student in social demography at the University of Hong Kong (HKU). Her doctoral research is jointly funded and supervised by the Population Studies Hub at HKU and the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR).
Her research interests lie in contemporary demographic changes, such as low fertility and migration dynamics.
