Overview

Biography

Jui-Chung Allen Li is an Associate Social Scientist at RAND and Associate Director (directing the Data and Computing Core) of the RAND Population Research Center. With training in sociology, demography and social psychology, his research is concerned with estimating the effects of divorce on child and adult well-being, understanding cultural beliefs in a high-divorce societal context, identifying fertility differentials across family structures, and examining the links between welfare-state policy, family change and fertility and how they affect population aging. He is also working to help the recruitment of the Army ROTC programs, and improve the employment status of the spouses of active duty personnel. He formerly served in the Military Police in Taiwan in dual roles—as a Platoon Leader (at a local military police station and the National Military Police Command) and Special Assistant to the Command's Chief Mental Health Officer.
