Duke University Press - Tập 54 Số 1 - Trang 259-284 - 2017
Carolyn A. Liebler, Sonya R. Porter, Leticia Fernández, James Noon, Sharon R. Ennis
AbstractA person’s racial or ethnic self-identification can change over time and across contexts, which is a component of population change not usually considered in studies that use race and ethnicity as variables. To facilitate incorporation of this aspect of population change, we show patterns and directions of individual-level race and Hispanic response change ...... hiện toàn bộ
Aids mortality and the mobility of children in Kwazulu Natal, South Africa
Duke University Press - Tập 42 - Trang 757-768 - 2005
Kathleen Ford, Victoria Hosegood
This paper examines the effect of parental death on the mobility of 39,163 children aged 0–17 in rural KwaZulu Natal, South Africa, in 2000 and 2001. Parental mortality from all causes prior to and during follow-up increased the risk of a child moving by nearly two times after we controlled for the age and gender of the child and household characteristics. However, in the follow-up period, child m...... hiện toàn bộ
Fertility and economic activity of women in Guatemala city, 1964
Duke University Press - - 1970
Murray Gendell, Maria Nydia Maraviglia, Philip C. Kreitner
Abstract Data from a five percent census sample reveal that in Guatemala City in 1964 economically active women, especially domestic servants, had lower cumulative fertility than inactive women, partly because larger proportions of them had never married and were childless. However, even among ever married mothers there was a substantial differential...... hiện toàn bộ

Health Measurement in Population Surveys: Combining Information from Self-reported and Observer-Measured Health Indicators
Duke University Press - Tập 48 - Trang 699-724 - 2011
George B. Ploubidis, Emily Grundy
Our primary aim is to develop and validate a population health metric for survey-based health assessment that combines information from both self-reported and observer-measured health indicators. A secondary objective is to use this index to examine gender and socioeconomic differentials in the health status of older people. We use data from the second wave of the English Longitudinal Study of Age...... hiện toàn bộ
Interregional flows of economically active persons in France, 1975–1982
Duke University Press - Tập 25 - Trang 81-98 - 1988
Ken G. Dean
Recent net interregional migration into southern and western France is widely appreciated, but much less is known about the composition of these flows in terms of the occupational characteristics of economically active migrants. Using results from the 1982 census, this article disaggregates net flows to reveal inflows and outflows of migrants defined by gender and occupational groups. Important di...... hiện toàn bộ

Cross-National Comparisons of Union Stability in Cohabiting and Married Families With Children
Duke University Press - Tập 55 - Trang 1389-1421 - 2018
Kelly Musick, Katherine Michelmore
Increases in cohabitation, nonmarital childbearing, and partnership dissolution have reshaped the family landscape in most Western countries. The United States shares many features of family change common elsewhere, although it is exceptional in its high degree of union instability. In this study, we use the Harmonized Histories to provide a rich, descriptive account of union instability among cou...... hiện toàn bộ
The impact of family policy expenditure on fertility in western Europe
Duke University Press - Tập 47 - Trang 503-519 - 2010
Adriaan Kalwij
This article analyzes the impact on fertility of changes in national expenditure for family allowances, maternity- and parental-leave benefits, and childcare subsidies. To do so, I estimate a model for the timing of births using individual-level data from 16 western European countries, supplemented with data on national social expenditure for different family policy programs. The latter allow appr...... hiện toàn bộ
An Empirical Examination Of Megalopolitan Structure
Duke University Press - Tập 4 - Trang 734-743 - 1967
Robert H. Weller
Recently, the emergence of a new community form has attracted considerable attention. Gottmann has written of the “megalopolis,” and others have written of the development of “urban fields” which will replace the traditional concepts of “city” and “metropolis.” The belief underlying these efforts is that an increasing intermetropolitan division of labor is bringing about a new type of community.
