Dr. Yue Qian is interested in understanding how gender intersects with family, work, and population processes—such as assortative mating (i.e., who marries whom), occupational segregation, and migration—to shape individual well-being and societal inequality.

Her current research focuses on three related areas:

1. Patterns and consequences of assortative mating;
2. Family, work, and gender inequality;
3. The role of family, work, and gender dynamics in shaping health and well-being.

Most recently, she collaborated with researchers around the world to examine the social and mental health impacts of COVID-19.
