Emilie Counil is a tenured researcher at the French Institute for Demographic Studies (INED). Trained in epidemiology, she has been working with social sciences over the last 15 years, specifically sociology, demography and economics.
Her research focuses on how the practices and uses of epidemiology can contribute to the non-emergence of certain public health problems, like women's occupational diseases, or to the non-intervention in the face of well-defined problems, such as work-related cancers. On the other hand, they aim to develop quantitative and mixed methods to document the contribution of work to social inequalities in health and mortality over the lifecourse.
