COLLIN PAYNE (he/him/his) is an associate professor of demography at the Australian National University, and a visiting faculty member at the Harvard Center for Population and Development Studies. His research focuses on key issues facing populations around the world—how long we live, how health is maintained across the life course, and how differences in healthy longevity arise both between individuals and across nations. Payne’s

research outputs have generated new knowledge on international patterns of social, economic, and demographic inequalities in health, demonstrating that many well-established relationships observed in high-income populations (such as the age pattern of depressive symptoms, the connections between biomarkers of health and reported disability, or the compression of morbidity with rising life expectancy) do not necessarily generalize to nonwealthy countries, or to disadvantaged subgroups within populations. His current projects include an Australian Research Council–funded study estimating and comparing health expectancies across the Asia-Pacific, and an Australian National University’s Futures Scheme project developing methods for estimating the direct contributions of chronic diseases to shortfalls in healthy longevity. Payne is an Australian Research Council Discovery Early Career Researcher Award fellow. He holds a B.A. in sociology from the University of Wisconsin and a Ph.D. in demography from the University of Pennsylvania.
