Examining the effects of a two-child policy in rural India Journal of Population Research Pub Date : 2023-05-14 Bidisha Mandal, Wenjun Wu
A two-child policy has been in effect in rural areas in multiple Indian states for over 2 decades. We examine the effectiveness of the policy on fertility, sex ratio, and female infant mortality. We utilize data from the fourth round of the National Family Health Survey (2015–2016) and use propensity score matching models to examine whether the policy influences household fertility behavior. First

This paper examined the role of male partners in modern contraceptive use by women across clusters in South Africa. Its main objective was threefold. First, the present paper sought to test whether South African married women’s modern contraceptive use is related to the influence of their husbands or male partners. Second, it examined whether modern contraceptive use is similar within clusters. Third

The importance of child characteristics: children’s health and mothers’ subsequent childbearing Journal of Population Research Pub Date : 2022-08-29 Lisbeth Loft
Existing literature rarely includes child characteristics as a predictor variable when investigating family life events. Using data from the Danish Longitudinal Survey of Children, this study follows a representative sample of the Danish 1995 birth cohort and their families (N = 4990) in order to examine the role of children’s disability and long-term illness in families’ subsequent childbearing.

Intimate partner violence and the spatial pattern of maternal healthcare services utilization among parous married women in northern Nigeria Journal of Population Research Pub Date : 2022-08-12 Yemi Adewoyin, Clifford O. Odimegwu, Olatunji Alabi, Joshua O. Akinyemi, Olusola A. Omisakin
The low uptake of maternal healthcare services (MHS) in Nigeria is implicated in the country’s poor maternal health outcomes. In northern Nigeria where these outcomes are poorest, not much is known about the contribution of violence within unions on married women’s uptake of MHS. Using data on antenatal care (ANC) utilisation and place of delivery, and their sociodemographic confounders from the Nigerian

Childbearing among Polish migrant women and their descendants in Sweden: an origin-destination country approach Journal of Population Research Pub Date : 2022-03-07 Jonathan Lindström, Eleonora Mussino, Livia Sz. Oláh
This paper examines the childbearing behaviour of Polish migrant women and their descendants in Sweden. Also considering stayers in the country of origin, we rely on a country-of-origin and country-of-destination approach in a careful examination regarding the relevance of three hypotheses on migrant fertility: the socialisation, selection, and adaptation hypotheses. We analyse the transitions to first

Contemporary family sponsorship and older parent reunification immigration under New Zealand’s neoliberal immigration regime Journal of Population Research Pub Date : 2022-02-10 Liangni Sally Liu, Guanyu Jason Ran
A neoliberal immigration regime often takes an “economic” lens to frame and reframe immigration regulation based on a rational cost–benefit analysis of what immigration might bring to immigration-receiving countries. Under such a regime, skilled and business immigration is framed as an “economic” immigration category, which can channel in financial and human capital, while family and international

Loss of life expectancy due to respiratory infectious diseases: findings from the global burden of disease study in 195 countries and territories 1990–2017 Journal of Population Research Pub Date : 2022-02-07 Guogui Huang, Fei Guo
Understanding of the patterns of and changes in mortality from respiratory infectious diseases (RID) and its contribution to loss of life expectancy (LE) is inadequate in the existing literature. With rapid sociodemographic changes globally, and the current COVID-19 pandemic, it is timely to revisit the disease burden of RID. Using the approaches of life table and cause-eliminated life table based

The ties that bind? Marriage formation, consanguinity and war in Lebanon and Palestine Journal of Population Research Pub Date : 2022-02-03 Yara Jarallah
The paper explores the link between the civil war (1975–1990) in Lebanon and the first Intifada (1987–1993) in Palestine, and women’s transition to marriage and consanguinity. It marries the literature on demographic behaviour and social ties, and contributes to nascent literature on demographic behaviour in times of war extended to consanguinity. It uses a mixed methods approach using two nationally

The interacting effects of religion and birthplace on the labour market outcomes of Asian immigrants in Australia Journal of Population Research Pub Date : 2022-01-27 Sheruni De Alwis, Nick Parr, Fei Guo
Immigration from a diverse range of source countries has been instrumental in increasing the diversity of religions among Australia’s population. Immigrants’ religious adherences may affect their labour market outcomes and integration into the host society more broadly by influencing their accumulation of human capital, work and family-related attitudes and values, social networks, and experiences

Skewed child sex ratios in India: a revisit to geographical patterns and socio-economic correlates Journal of Population Research Pub Date : 2021-11-25 Kumari, Aradhana, Goli, Srinivas
This study revisits the regional and socio-economic pattern of masculinisation of Child Sex Ratios (CSR), Sex Ratio at Birth (SRB) and Sex Ratio at Last Birth (SRLB) by using successive rounds of the National Family Health Survey (NFHS). Although the masculinisation of CSR continues in many Indian states as well as in different socio-economic settings, a tremendous change in previously established

Intergenerational inequality and the intergenerational state Journal of Population Research Pub Date : 2021-09-23 Rice, James Mahmud, Temple, Jeromey B., McDonald, Peter F.
Inequality between generations is a central feature of human societies. Moreover, within human societies many institutions have developed that mould and shape intergenerational inequality, including the state. Nevertheless, intergenerational inequality has typically been only loosely defined as a concept. This article examines intergenerational inequality in income, as well as how the state works to

Changing trends between education, childlessness and completed fertility: a cohort analysis of Australian women born in 1952–1971 Journal of Population Research Pub Date : 2021-08-19 Lazzari, Ester
Little is known about whether and how trends in completed cohort fertility and lifetime childlessness by education have changed over time. This study uses census data to describe the changes in completed family size and proportions ultimately childless by educational attainment of Australian women born between 1952–1971 (N = 2,518,571). In all cohorts, better-educated women have lower fertility levels

A first glance into the black box of life satisfaction surrounding childbearing Journal of Population Research Pub Date : 2021-06-13 Arnstein Aassve, Francesca Luppi, Letizia Mencarini
The vast majority of studies looking into the relationship between childbearing and subjective well-being use overall measures where respondents either report their general level of happiness or their life satisfaction, leaving substantial doubt about the underlying mechanisms. However, life satisfaction and happiness are intuitively multidimensional concepts, simply because there cannot be only one

Demographic trends in less and least developed countries: Convergence or divergence? Journal of Population Research Pub Date : 2021-06-12 Giuseppe Gabrielli, Anna Paterno, Silvana Salvini, Isabella Corazziari
Many scholars share the assumption that demographic patterns in the world are converging over time. The present study analyses the temporal trends of specific parameters of mortality and fertility—together with certain socio-economic indicators—in 95 less and least developed countries during the period 1990–2015 and discusses whether mortality and fertility trends are convergent or divergent. We apply

Ethnicity and fertility desires in Ghana Journal of Population Research Pub Date : 2021-06-06 Nana Ohene Akonor, Adriana A. E. Biney
The extant literature shows that fertility desires are an important indicator for understanding and predicting the future course of fertility; however, little work has been done on its relationship to ethnicity among women in Ghana. Therefore, this study investigates the relationship between ethnicity and fertility desires among two groups of parous women in Ghana. Using 2014 Ghana Demographic and

Intergenerational persistence of family formation trajectories among teenage-mothers and -fathers in Sweden Journal of Population Research Pub Date : 2021-06-02 Sara Kalucza, Sergi Vidal, Karina Nilsson
In this paper, we address the questions of whether early family trajectories of parents are reflected in childbearing teenagers, and how socio-economic and family background factors impact these intergenerational correlations. We use within-dyad sequence analysis to examine combined marital and childbearing trajectories, up to age 30, of two generations of a representative sample of childbearing teenagers

Demographic and territorial characteristics of COVID-19 cases and excess mortality in the European Union during the first wave Journal of Population Research Pub Date : 2021-05-29 Anne Goujon, Fabrizio Natale, Daniela Ghio, Alessandra Conte
This article explores for a large number of countries in the European Union (plus the United Kingdom) the main demographic differentials in positive tested COVID-19 cases and excess mortality during the first wave in 2020, accounting for differences at territorial level, where population density and size play a main role in the diffusion and effects of the disease in terms of morbidity and mortality

Fixed not fluid: European identification in the Aotearoa New Zealand census Journal of Population Research Pub Date : 2021-04-23 Patrick Broman, Tahu Kukutai
Social scientists have long treated ethnicity as socially constructed and historically contingent, rather than fixed at birth and transmitted across generations in a linear fashion. A growing body of work has theorised and examined how individuals construct and express their ethnic identities in a variety of contexts and at different life course stages. Most studies have focused on Indigenous and ethnic

Indigenous data sovereignty and COVID-19 data issues for American Indian and Alaska Native Tribes and populations Journal of Population Research Pub Date : 2021-04-09 Aggie J. Yellow Horse, Kimberly R. Huyser
Indigenous Peoples in the United States have been experiencing disproportionate impacts of COVID-19. American Indian and Alaska Native persons are more likely to be infected, experience complications, and die from coronavirus. Evidence suggests that Indigenous persons have 3.5 times the incidence rate of non-Hispanic/Latinx whites. Unfortunately, this is likely a gross underestimate because of a lack

The influence of social and economic ties to the spread of COVID-19 in Europe Journal of Population Research Pub Date : 2021-04-05 Ryohei Mogi, Jeroen Spijker
By late January 2020, the 2019 novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) had reached Europe and most European countries had registered cases by March 1. However, the spread of the virus has been uneven in both prevalence and speed of propagation. We analyse the association of social, economic, and demographic factors in the initial spread of the coronavirus disease COVID-19 across 23 European countries between

Attitude towards gender norms in Ghana: understanding the dynamics among men and women in intimate relationships Journal of Population Research Pub Date : 2021-03-25 Bright Addo, Regina Berchie
Despite the growing interest in issues relating to gender norms, few studies have targeted men and women in intimate relationships. Using the Gender Equitable Men Scale (GEM), this study measured attitudes toward gender norms concerning violence, sexual relationships, reproductive health and disease prevention, and domestic chores and daily life among men and women in intimate relationships in a peri-urban

Will the COVID-19 pandemic affect population ageing in Australia? Journal of Population Research Pub Date : 2021-03-15 Tom Wilson, Jeromey Temple, Elin Charles-Edwards
The COVID-19 pandemic has caused extensive disruption to economies and societies across the world. In terms of demographic processes, mortality has risen in many countries, international migration and mobility has been widely curtailed, and rising unemployment and job insecurity is expected to lower fertility rates in the near future. This paper attempts to examine the possible effects of COVID-19

Change point detection for COVID-19 excess deaths in Belgium Journal of Population Research Pub Date : 2021-03-06 Han Lin Shang, Ruofan Xu
Emerging at the end of 2019, COVID-19 has become a public health threat to people worldwide. Apart from deaths with a positive COVID-19 test, many others have died from causes indirectly related to COVID-19. Therefore, the COVID-19 confirmed deaths underestimate the influence of the pandemic on society; instead, the measure of ‘excess deaths’ is a more objective and comparable way to assess the scale

Husband, sons and the fertility gap: evidence from India Journal of Population Research Pub Date : 2021-02-22 Ankita Mishra, Jaai Parasnis
A fertility gap—the difference between a woman’s ideal number of children and her actual number of children—is prevalent in both directions. We investigate the distribution of the fertility gap in India and factors that lead to women exceeding or underachieving their ideal number of children. We find that preference for males has a significant effect, contributing to a negative as well as a positive

Origins of ‘the gap’: perspectives on the historical demography of aboriginal victorians Journal of Population Research Pub Date : 2021-02-11 Janet McCalman, Rebecca Kippen, Len Smith, Sandra Silcot
Australia enjoys ninth place out of 190 countries on the United Nations Life Expectancy Index. Aboriginal Australians—as a fourth-world people within a first-world society—rank in the bottom half of the Index, just below Guatemala and Bangladesh. Progress on closing ‘the gap’ in health and wellbeing has been slow, despite initial rapid gains in infant mortality. The barriers are inter-generational
