Abstract

This book examines the dynamics of family relationships in ageing societies within the region of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE). It addresses demographic trends such as population ageing, declining fertility, and changing family patterns, emphasizing the importance of public policy responses to these challenges. The book explores the impact of these demographic changes on intergenerational relationships and gender roles, highlighting the need for policies that promote solidarity and gender equality. It draws on data from the Generations and Gender Programme (GGP) and the Multilinks project to provide insights into how social contexts affect social integration and solidarity across Europe. The book aims to inform policymakers and a broad audience interested in demographic and family issues.

Abstract

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the impact of low birth-rates and population decline on Japan and Germany. Experts from both countries examine a broad range of issues, from demographic change, social ageing, family policies, family formation, work-life balance, domestic and international migration to business perspectives and labour market issues. Focussed on Japan and Germany, two highly developed countries with extremely low fertility, the chapters of this volume also refer to several other countries for comparison. In the absence of war, famine and pandemics, rapid population decline is a new phenomenon. Japan and Germany are struggling with this reality, but many other countries will follow their example.

Abstract

In this provocative book, Nicholas Daly tracks the cultural effects of the population explosion of the nineteenth century, the 'demographic transition' to the modern world. As the crowded cities of Paris, London and New York went through similar transformations, a set of shared narratives and images of urban life circulated among them, including fantasies of urban catastrophe, crime dramas, and tales of haunted public transport, refracting the hell that is other people. In the visual arts, sentimental genre pictures appeared that condensed the urban masses into a handful of vulnerable figures: newsboys and flower-girls. At the end of the century, proto-ecological stories emerge about the sprawling city as itself a destroyer. This lively study excavates some of the origins of our own international popular culture, from noir visions of the city as a locus of crime, to utopian images of energy and community.

Abstract

Tibetan Transitions uses the dual lenses of anthropology and demography to analyze population regulating mechanisms in traditional Tibetan societies, and to document recent transitions from high to low fertility throughout the Tibetan world. Using the author’s case studies on historical Tibet, the Tibet Autonomous Region, the highlands of Nepal, and Tibetan exile communities in South Asia, this book provides a theoretical perspective on demographic processes by linking fertility transitions with family systems, economic strategies, gender equity, and family planning ideologies. Special attention is devoted to how institutions (governmental and religious) and the agency of individuals shape reproductive outcomes in both historical and contemporary Tibetan societies, and how demographic data has been interpreted and deployed in recent political debates.

Abstract

This volume brings together 13 well-researched and original essays which describe and analyse the trajectory of fertility decline in the south Indian states of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala. Documenting the fact that the fertility decline occurred in regions with vast differences in development indicators, the contributors argue that this transition must be understood as a cumulative result of several factors including family planning policies, socio-economic transformation, and changes in social perceptions towards fertility, contraception, marriage, family and child rearin

Abstract

"Cet ouvrage paru pour la première fois en 1934, expose la théorie du régime démographique de Landry et annonce ce qui deviendra la théorie de la transition démographique, étape de progression notable de la population d'un pays. Issu d'une famille de notables corses et homme politique radical-socialiste, Adolphe Landry s'est très tôt intéressé à la croissance de la population. Considéré " comme une œuvre de science que la marche du temps n'a pas contredit " par Alain Girard, qui en préfaça la réédition de 1982, La révolution démographique développe la théorie des trois régimes démographiques. Le régime primitif lie étroitement croissance démographique et subsistances (avec une mortalité élevée). Le régime contemporain allie le progrès économique et social avec un contrôle des naissances de la part des familles. Landry en distingue un troisième, établissant que le passage du primitif au contemporain n'a pu se faire sans transition, sans "révolution", car ces deux régimes sont radicalement différents. Son analyse méthodique des comportements démographiques du passé, exposés dans la première partie, est toujours d'une grande acuité. Comprendre le passé pour envisager l'avenir est un des thèmes centraux et novateur de l'ouvrage (cf. son chapitre " Où nous en sommes. Où nous allons. "). Bien que soucieux des problèmes de croissance de la population, Landry n'adhère pas aux visées de puissance nationale des politiques de l'époque qui prônent une population numériquement forte. Ce qu'il nomme "le maximum" de population n'est ni un état statique ni un idéal à atteindre, mais peut varier dans le temps, à la faveur d'un équilibre économique rationnel entre richesses et population. Alliant réflexions philosophiques et morales sur le progrès et le bien-être social, Landry s'inscrit aussi dans les nouveaux courants de pensée humanistes et sociologiques qui se développent durant l'entre-deux-guerres."
