- 2From: Demographic Research. (Vol. 23) Peer-ReviewedThis paper seeks to advance our understanding about the impact of unemployment on fertility. From a theoretical perspective, both negative and positive effects might be expected. Existing empirical studies have produced...
- 3From: Demographic Research. (Vol. 23) Peer-ReviewedThis paper proposes an extension of the standard parameterized model migration schedule to account for highly age-concentrated student migration. Many age profiles of regional migration are characterized by sudden...
- 4From: Demographic Research. (Vol. 23) Peer-ReviewedUsing a sample of Italian women interviewed in 2003 in the survey "Family and Social Subject," this paper investigates two issues: (1) how a woman's family life-course (union status and parity/ages of children born in...
- 5From: Demographic Research. (Vol. 23) Peer-ReviewedPreston, Glei, and Wilmoth (2010) recently proposed an innovative regression-based method for estimating smoking-attributable mortality in developed countries based on observed lung cancer death rates. Their estimates...
- 6From: Demographic Research. (Vol. 23) Peer-ReviewedBased on the unique longitudinal data of the elderly aged 65+ with a sufficiently large sub-sample of the oldest-old aged 85+ from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey, we construct a resilience scale with...
- 7From: Demographic Research. (Vol. 23) Peer-ReviewedIn a heterogeneous cohort, the change with age in the force of mortality or some other kind of hazard or intensity of attrition depends on how the hazard changes with age for the individuals in the cohort and on how the...
- 8From: Demographic Research. (Vol. 23) Peer-ReviewedThis article studies continued childbearing and union stability among "power couples," or dual-career couples. The determinants of these events are analysed multivariately using longitudinal data on couples from...
- 9From: Demographic Research. (Vol. 23) Peer-ReviewedThe population growth rate, or intrinsic rate of increase, is the rate of growth that will be achieved by a population with fixed vital rates. The sensitivity of population growth rate to changes in the vital rates can...
- 10From: Demographic Research. (Vol. 23) Peer-ReviewedThis article tests the assumption that cohabitation makes a difference in the allocation of childcare responsibilities within couples. It has often been assumed that cohabiting individuals are less likely to adhere to...
- 11From: Demographic Research. (Vol. 23) Peer-ReviewedEthnic differentials in the timing of family formation in Fiji cannot be adequately explained by the norms, characteristics, minority group, and interaction hypotheses. The missing dimensions are socioeconomic level...
- 12From: Demographic Research. (Vol. 23) Peer-ReviewedIn this paper we revisit the mortality profiles of France and Italy in 2003 using the multiple-cause-of-death approach. The method leads to a substantial upward reassessment of the role played by certain...
- 13From: Demographic Research. (Vol. 23) Peer-ReviewedThis study investigates the disproportionate impact of mortality among United States troops in Iraq on rural communities. We advance scholarly research and popular accounts that suggest a nonmetropolitan disadvantage by...
- 14From: Demographic Research. (Vol. 23) Peer-ReviewedA number of studies show that premarital cohabitation is associated with an increased risk of subsequent marital dissolution. Some argue that this is a consequence of selection effects and that once these are controlled...
- 15From: Demographic Research. (Vol. 23) Peer-ReviewedWith the increasing diversity of family situations, growing numbers of people, including children, have more than one home. In France, nearly 4% of inhabitants are likely to be counted twice in surveys; while in...
- 16From: Demographic Research. (Vol. 23) Peer-ReviewedThis paper investigates how family size affects children's human capital, comparing Italy and France. We tested the dilution effect in these countries, starting with the assumption that the higher the number of...
- 17From: Demographic Research. (Vol. 23) Peer-ReviewedThis study examines whether the increase of geographical heterogamy in the nineteenth and early twentieth century is related to modernization. Specifically, we test whether mass communication and mass transport enhanced...
- 18From: Demographic Research. (Vol. 23) Peer-ReviewedHumans, and many other species, suffer senescence: mortality increases and fertility decreases with adult age. Some species, however, enjoy sustenance: mortality and fertility remain constant. Here we develop simple but...
- 19From: Demographic Research. (Vol. 23) Peer-ReviewedWe evaluated the psychometric properties of the London Measure of Unplanned Pregnancy among Indian women using classical methods and Item Response Modeling. The scale exhibited good internal consistency and internal...
- 20From: Demographic Research. (Vol. 23) Peer-ReviewedThis paper investigates the effects of sibship size on status attainment across different contexts and subgroups. Resource dilution theory predicts that with larger sibship size, children's status outcomes fall....
