Abstract

Bevolkingseconomie gaat over het leven van het individu. Kwesties als: de optimale leeftijd om kinderen te krijgen, carrièreplanning, het huwelijk en de scheiding zijn vragen waar elk individu over moet beslissen. Al deze besluiten worden beïnvloed door de economische situatie, maar hebben ook economische gevolgen. Daarom draagt de economie van de familie bij aan zowel op microniveau van het individu die besluiten moeten nemen, als op het macroniveau, waar overheden bijvoorbeeld zich zorgen maken over het verouderen van de bevolking. Omdat de institutionele regelingen verschillend zijn van lan

Abstract

One of the most important demographic issues of our time is the increasing age of women at motherhood. This happens in the northern social democratic states Sweden and Norway, in the catholic countries Italy, Spain and Ireland, in the West European countries Netherlands and Germany, in the former socialist transition countries Czech Republic and East Germany, and in the liberal democracy of the United States. The postponement of maternity and the related issue of declining fertility rates are of major interest to policy makers and have provoked much scientific research. This book examines various economic aspects of the role of women’s education in the postponement of maternity in these ten industrialized countries. The chapters in this book each empirically investigate one of these countries using individual or household survey data and are in particular interested in the increasing age at motherhood with the investment in education of the mother. In search of socio-economic explanations for this relationship each chapter investigates a specific related research question. This results in a book that covers a wide range of topics on the economics of fertility decisions, such as career planning motives of women, consumption smoothing motives of households and the role of institutions.

Abstract

This paper analyses the postponement of first births of the 1990s compared to the 1980s, using panel data from four countries, namely, Germany (GSOEP), Great Britain (BHPS), the Netherlands (OSA) and Sweden (HUS). We find substantial postponement of maternity in all four countries for all educational groups with the most pronounced postponement among highly educated women in all four countries. However the mean age of the mother when giving birth to the first child reamained the lowest in Great among the four countries in both decades. Theoretically we can distinguish two motives for postponing maternity, namely, the consumptionsmoothing motive and the career-planning motive. In this paper we concentrate on an important determinant of the maternal time costs: the time spent out of paid employment. We make use of longitudinal information about the number of months elapsed since first birth until the mother is observed working in the labour market. We estimate parametric duration ...

Abstract

Bundel, gebaseerd op de gelijknamige teleac-serie op de televisie, waarin vier vrouwelijke wetenschappers de balans opmaken van het feminisme in hun discipline. Outshoorn, hoogleraar aan de Rijksuniversiteit Leiden, gaat in op de betekenis van feministische politicologie en het begrip gender. Vervolgens behandelt zij het thema van de ondervertegenwoordiging van vrouwen in politiek en besluitvorming. Goldschmidt, hoogleraar juridische vrouwenstudies, gaat in op de ontwikkelingen binnen haar vakgebied, de dilemma's die zich voordoen, het gender-begrip, het debat over gelijkheid en verschil. Vervolgens behandelt zij vraagstukken die betrekking hebben op de universaliteit van mensenrechten en de relatie met de positie van vrouwen. Gustafsson en Maassen van den Brink zijn beiden econoom aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam. Zij geven een overzicht van de economische theorievorming in deze eeuw en de feministische kritiek daarop. Vervolgens komen enkele voorbeelden van economisch onderzoek, die geplaatst kunnen worden binnen het feministisch empirisme, aan bod: economische zelfstandigheid van vrouwen, beloningsverschillen tussen mannen en vrouwen, verdeling van taken thuis, Nederlandse Emancipatie Index. In een zestal essays wordt een beeld geschetst van de betekenis van het feministische ideeëngoed voor de huidige wetenschapspraktijk
