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
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
Migration intentions and behavior: Decision making in a rural Philippine province
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 8 - Trang 41-62 - 1985

The relationship between intentions and behavior is basic to micro-level migration decision research. This study, set in the rural Philippine province of Ilocos Norte, provides evidence on personal and structural background factors and value-expectancy perceptions of place utility that predict migration intentions and behavior. Separate analyses are conducted for general intentions to move and for...... hiện toàn bộ
Instability, investment, disasters, and demography: natural disasters and fertility in Italy (1820–1962) and Japan (1671–1965)
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 31 - Trang 255-281 - 2010
C.-Y. Cynthia Lin
This article examines whether natural disasters affect fertility—a topic little explored but of policy importance given relevance to policies regarding disaster insurance, foreign aid, and the environment. The identification strategy uses historic regional data to exploit natural variation within each of two countries: one European country—Italy (1820–1962), and one Asian country—Japan (1671–1965)...... hiện toàn bộ

This paper attempts to account for the strong, positive correlation between partner involvement and contraceptive behavior in premarital sexual relationships. Interpersonal and structural characteristics of partner involvement identified in previous research as possible explanatory variables were factor analyzed and three major dimensions were isolated: 1. affection and commitment, 2. sexual and c...... hiện toàn bộ

Public perceptions of the ideal number of children for contemporary families
Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 9 - Trang 160-172 - 1987
Kirsten K. West, Leslie A. Morgan
Demographic and family dynamics have been influenced by the recent downturn in average family size. This research examines perceptions of the ideal size for contemporary families and beliefs regarding factors which have contributed to families' decisions to have fewer children. Findings reveal that the two child family is the overwhelming standard chosen by respondents, and that this preference ho...... hiện toàn bộ
