About
Sheng-Pin Huang is a PhD student in Sociology at the University of Michigan. He primarily uses quantitative methods and survey data to study social inequality in the United States, focusing on the role of family change, gender, work, and education. His master’s thesis examines how higher education contributes to the gaps in the proportion ever married across family socioeconomic backgrounds.
He is exploring three topics: (1) fertility decline and patterns of intergenerational economic persistence over time, (2) the effect of cohabitation on economic outcomes, and (3) causes underlying the stalled gender pay gap.
Prior to joining the department, Sheng-Pin received a bachelor's and a master's degree from National Taiwan University. In 2024, he received a one-year government scholarship from Taiwan to study at the University of Wisconsin-Madison as a visiting student.
