Описание: In Migration, Reproduction and Society , Alejandro I. Canales offers a theoretical model for understanding the dilemmas presented by migration in the transformation of contemporary society. Aging and changing demographics in advanced societies make economic and social reproduction dependent upon the contributions made by immigration. However, these same demographic processes are conducive to ethnic transformations. The political dilemma facing advanced societies is that immigration is required to ensure their reproduction, but this entails becoming multicultural societies where the political hegemony of ethnic and demographic majorities becomes radically subverted. This paves the way to a pervasive political conflict already evident in the current immigration crisis in Europe just as in the revival of racism and xenophobia in the United States. En Migration, Reproduction and Society , Alejandro I. Canales propone un modelo teorico para el entendimiento del dilema politico y social concerniente al papel de las migraciones en la transformacion de la sociedad contemporanea. El envejecimiento y decline demografico en las sociedades avanzadas hacen que la dinamica economica y la reproduccion social de la poblacion dependan directamente de los aportes que hace la inmigracion. Sin embargo, estos mismos procesos demograficos propician una transformacion etnica de sus actuales equilibrios sociales y demograficos. El dilema politico que enfrentan las sociedades avanzadas es que para asegurar su reproduccion debe necesariamente abrirse a la inmigracion, pero ello conlleva la posibilidad de constituirse en sociedades multiculturales en donde la hegemonia politica de las actuales mayorias etnicas y demograficas se trastocaria radicalmente. Es la base de un conflicto politico cuyos indicios ya se advierten en la actual crisis migratoria en Europa, asi como en el renacer del racismo y xenofobia en los Estados Unidos.

Описание: This book studies the process of demographic transition which has played a key role in the economic development of Western countries. The special focus is on France, which constitutes the first clear case of fertility decline in Europe. The book analyzes the reasons behind this phenomenon by examining the evolution of demographic variables in France over the past two hundred years. To better understand the reasons of the changing patterns of demographic behavior, the authors investigate the development of the female labor force, study educational investments, and explore the evolution of gender roles and relations.

Описание: This book presents a description and analysis of sociolinguistics written from a demographer’s perspective. It synthesizes the data on the materials, methods, and issues of this interdisciplinary field, pulling together the scattered materials published in this area into a coherent whole. Drawing on a wide range of sciences in addition to demography and sociolinguistics, including sociology, anthropology, statistics, psychology, neuroscience, and public policy, the book treats theoretical and applied issues, links methods and substantive findings, covers both national and international materials, and provides prehistorical, historical, and contemporary illustrations. The book treats the theoretical issue of how the language we use develops socially on a base of linguistic genetic capacity and the practical issue of how the intervention of the state and public figures may profoundly alter the natural evolution of the language. As such, this book will appeal to a wide range of users, from students to teachers and practitioners of social demography, sociolinguistics, cultural anthropology, and particularly to those social scientists interested in ethnic studies and human migration.

Описание: This open access book examines the triangle between family, gender, and health in Europe from a demographic perspective. It helps to understand patterns and trends in each of the three components separately, as well as their interdependencies. It overcomes the widely observable specialization in demographic research, which usually involves researchers studying either family or fertility processes or focusing on health and mortality. Coverage looks at new family and partnership forms among the young and middle-aged, their relationship with health, and the pathways through which they act. Among the old, lifelong family biography and present family situation are explored. Evidence is provided that partners advancing in age start to resemble each other more closely in terms of health, with the health of the partner being a crucial factor of an individual’s own health. Gender-specific health outcomes and pathways are central in the designs of the studies and the discussion of the results. The book compares twelve European countries reflecting different welfare state regimes and offers country-specific studies conducted in Austria, Germany, Italy - all populations which have received less attention in the past - and Sweden. As a result, readers discover the role of different concepts of family and health as well as comparisons within European countries and ethnic groups. It will be an insightful resource for students, academics, policy makers, and researchers that will help define future research in terms of gender and public health.

Описание: Analyses the effect of changing demography in the US and elsewhere on tax revenues and public programmes. Topics covered include: demographic change and the outlook for Social Security, Medicare and government spending; long-term decision making under uncertainty; early retirement in policy and practice; local community spending and demographic change.
With many OECD countries experiencing a decline in their populations, this bookoffers a theoretical model of coping with demographic change and examines different strategies that societies have used to come to terms with demographic change. In particular, it details the different ways that Germany and Poland have tried to cope with this challenge and reveals three conflicting strategies: expansion, reduction, and phasing out.
Coverageincludes:
- How and why demographic change was used in Poland to expand the education system
- The variance of linkage between demographic change and growth rates in different fields of education in a German Bundesland
- Modes of reflexivity and personnel policy in German and Polish municipalities
- Effects of demographic change and forms of coping on fiscal capacity and unemployment rates in German municipalities
Coping with Demographic Change examines how and why societies cope with these detrimental effects. It conceptualizes the challenges a society faces as a result of demographic change and focuses on the processes by which actors, organizations and nation-states try to cope with this new situation.
