A suggested framework for analysis of urban-rural fertility differentials with an illustration of the Tanzanian case
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 3 - Trang 237-261 - 1980
Sally Evans Findley
This paper offers a framework for analyzing how individual characteristics and urban or rural "place" factors interact to influence fertility decisions. The framework builds on the Davis-Blake model and additionally shows how place or community variables influence exposure to intercourse, conception, and birth, either with or without a conscious decisionmaking process. The framework emphasizes the...... hiện toàn bộ

Energy, population and the environment: exploring Canada’s record on CO2 emissions and energy use relative to other OECD countries
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 34 - Trang 257-278 - 2011
Don Kerr, Hugh Mellon
Across the OECD, Canada’s record on CO2 emissions is particularly poor, with overall emissions up 32% over the 1990–2007 period. The current paper seeks to better understand this situation by making systematic comparisons of Canada with other OECD countries. For Canada overall, the rapid increase in emissions over the 1990–2007 period can be explained by several factors, including major population...... hiện toàn bộ
Residential exposure to air toxics is linked to lower grade point averages among school children in El Paso, Texas, USA
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 37 - Trang 319-340 - 2015
Stephanie E. Clark-Reyna, Sara E. Grineski, Timothy W. Collins
Children in low-income neighborhoods tend to be disproportionately exposed to environmental toxicants. This is cause for concern because exposure to environmental toxicants negatively affects health, which can impair academic success. To date, it is unknown if associations between air toxics and academic performance found in previous school-level studies persist when studying individual children. ...... hiện toàn bộ
Family planning and resilience: associations found in a Population, Health, and Environment (PHE) project in Western Tanzania
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 40 - Trang 204-238 - 2018
Karen Hardee, Kristen P. Patterson, Anika Schenck-Fontaine, Sebastiaan Hess, Craig Leisher, Clive Mutunga, Cheryl Margoluis, Cara Honzak
Using 2016 household survey data from Tanzania, we define and measure resilience within the context of Population, Health, and Environment programming and quantify the link between resilience and family planning. We created a multicomponent model using confirmatory factor analysis in a structural equation modeling context. Factor loadings for eight defined latent factors of resilience were statist...... hiện toàn bộ
Can Regional Variations in Demographic Structure Explain Regional Differences in Car Use? A Case Study in Austria
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - - 2002
Ulf Christian Ewert, Alexia Prskawetz
Due to its manifold impact on the environment private car use represents an important dimension of environmental behavior in industrialized countries. Obviously, private car use is related to demographic characteristics of households such as the life-cycle stage and the living arrangement the household lives in. In addition systematic regional differences of private car use have to be taken into a...... hiện toàn bộ
Cross-National Variation in Violent Crime Rates: Race, r-K Theory, and Income
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - - 2002
J. Philippe Rushton, Glayde Whitney
Rushton's theory of r-K race differences was examined in relation to the rate of murder, rape, and serious assault per 100,000 population and Gross Domestic Product per Person for 74 countries from the 1993–1996 International Crime Statistics published by INTERPOL and the 1999 CIA World Fact Book. Each country was assigned to one of the three macro-races East Asian, European, and African. The resu...... hiện toàn bộ
The Projection Problem
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 24 - Trang 329-337 - 2003
Robert J. Wyman
While world population has continued to increase, fertility has been falling. Projections out to the year 2050 currently assume that fertility will continue to decline to, or below, replacement. 1) Past projections have been very wrong. Estimates of population growth have alternated between being far too low and far too high. 2) Similarly, public anguish has alternated between extreme fears of ove...... hiện toàn bộ
Population change in Meso-America: The Tip of the demographic Iceberg
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 10 - Trang 206-220 - 1989
Leon F. Bouvier, David Simcox
This paper examines the demographic situation in Mexico and Central America (Meso-America) and looks at the momentum for growth implied by recent population shifts. Despite successes in reducing fertility levels in many Meso-American countries, the dramatic declines in mortality among infants and children have given rise to a "death dearth" that is contributing to a new "baby boom" in these countr...... hiện toàn bộ
Heat and adult health in China
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 40 - Trang 1-26 - 2018
Valerie Mueller, Clark Gray
Given projected increases in the frequency of precipitation and temperature extremes in China, we examine the extent adults may be vulnerable to climate anomalies. We link nutrition, health, and economic data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey (1989–2011) to gridded climate data to identify which socioeconomic outcomes are particularly susceptible, including adult underweight incidence, bo...... hiện toàn bộ
