    Dr. Lijun Chen is a Senior Researcher at Chapin Hall at the University of Chicago and the Part-time Researcher at the  Institute of Governance in ShanDong University.

    His research interests focus on three areas: (a) the development and general wellbeing of vulnerable children from disadvantaged backgrounds in developing countries such as China, (b) the experiences of children involved in the child welfare system in the US and other developed countries, and (3) evaluation of the performance of service providers and child welfare agencies in the US state child welfare systems. His current work includes a longitudinal study of child wellbeing in different domains in China based on a national family panel survey data and the predictive modeling of the probability of foster care placement after investigation and discharge from care for children in the child welfare systems of several US states.

    Chen is proficient in statistical modeling and analysis of longitudinal and survival data, and has worked with different survey and administrative data sets from China and the US to understand the effects of personal attributes, contextual and policy factors on the wellbeing of children. Among the highlights of his prior work are a longitudinal study of NSCAW (National Survey of Child and Adolescent Wellbeing) survey to examine the developmental trajectories of children involved in the child welfare system, and a cross-national study of child disciplinary practices of parents in 30 nations based on UNICEF’s Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS).

    Dr. Chen holds a Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Chicago and M.A. in English literature from Beijing Foreign Studies University. He has published in Social Service Review and Children and Youth Service Review.
