Niels Blom is a research fellow at the Violence and Society Centre at the City University of London. In his current research, he studies the intersection of socioeconomic inequalities, relationship dynamics, violence and abuse, and health inequalities. Previously, he has studied health inequalities from a cross-national perspective and how partner relationship quality is associated with economic inequalities within and between couples, transitions to parenthood, marriage, and union dissolution. Additionally, he focusses on the integration of survey and administrative datasets to improve the understanding of violence and abuse.
