He is a post-doctoral Researcher of Spatial Demography at the Centre for Demographic Research of the Université Catholique de Louvain, Belgium, and a specialist in Mediterranean demography after having worked on this subject for the last 8 years. His PhD focused on Population ageing in the Mediterranean: territorial and spatial convergence. He has published several articles about population ageing in the Mediterranean, and the demographic decrease in France and Southern Europe. He was involved as a participant in several research projects about the Mediterranean and is part of the Demographic Observatory of the Mediterranean.

Elena Ambrosetti holds a PhD in demography from the Institut d'Etudes Politiques, Paris, France (2006). She is Associate Professor of Demography at the Faculty of Economics and affiliated to the Department of Methods and Models for Economics, Territory and Finance - Sapienza University of Rome, Italy. She has extensively worked on the demography of the Mediterranean countries with special attention to the demographic transition in Egypt and in Northern African countries and to population ageing and its consequences in Italy and in the Southern European Mediterranean countries. Additionally, she has been working for more than 10 years on international migration, with particular focus on migrants' integration, migration policies and demographic behaviour of migrant populations.
