New insights into the fertility patterns of recent Polish migrants in the United KingdomSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 31 - Trang 131-150 - 2014
Lorraine Waller, Ann Berrington, James Raymer
There have been important changes in the United Kingdom’s fertility and immigration in the past decade, with a large share contributed by migrants from Poland. A detailed understanding of Polish migrant fertility is lacking, however, because the relevant data are not routinely collected. This paper provides new insights into the fertility patterns of Polish migrants in the UK, and compares these p...... hiện toàn bộ
The diverse nature of living apart together relationships: an Italy–France comparisonSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 35 - Trang 1-22 - 2018
Arnaud Régnier-Loilier, Daniele Vignoli
This paper contributes to the ongoing debate on the nature of living apart together (LAT) relationships by focusing on two contrasting family settings: France and Italy. First, we corroborate the view that being “single” in residential terms does not mean being “without a partner” in relationship terms. To assume otherwise would be an erroneous characterisation of more than one quarter of the indi...... hiện toàn bộ
From bad to worse: examining the deteriorating labour market outcomes of international graduates in AustraliaSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 39 - Trang 441-473 - 2022
Angelina Tang, Francisco Perales, Francisco Rowe, Janeen Baxter
International graduates have been shown to experience comparatively poor outcomes in their transition to the host labour market after course completion. In Australia, international graduates typically fare worse than domestic graduates in the labour market, with new evidence pointing to a deterioration in their relative labour market position over the years. The contributing factors for the deteri...... hiện toàn bộ
Caaip in Context: An Economic-Demographic CritiqueSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 5 - Trang 146-163 - 1988
Kym Bills
Gross immigration to Australia in 1988 will total about 160,000 persons or about one per cent of the existing population. This is more than double Australia’s 1983 intake of about 70,000 and is a high intake compared with other major Western receiving countries. The CAAIP Report released in Hay argues for a continuation of such levels of immigration. The economic and demographic rationale for this...... hiện toàn bộ

Dieudonne Ndaruhuye Muhoza

The results show that the preference for high fertility in Rwanda is associated with few factors namely low education, protestant religion and high child mortality....... hiện toàn bộ
Diversity and change in Cambodian households, 1998–2006Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 25 - Trang 287-313 - 2008
Floriane Demont, Patrick Heuveline
Extant ethnographic studies suggest that the nuclear family has been the predominant living arrangement in Cambodia, and the country’s rapid socioeconomic transformation since the early 1990s may have accentuated that dominance. To examine these claims, we analyse here household structure in Cambodia between 1998 and 2006, based on data from the 1998 Census, two nationally-representative surveys (...... hiện toàn bộ
Comparing COVID-19 fatality across countries: a synthetic demographic indicatorSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 39 - Trang 513-525 - 2022
Simona Bignami-Van Assche, Daniela Ghio
The case fatality rate (CFR) is one of the most important measures for monitoring disease progression and evaluating appropriate policy health measures over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. To remove biases arising from the age structure of COVID-19 cases in international comparisons of the CFR, existing studies have relied mainly on direct standardisation. We propose and validate a synthetic ...... hiện toàn bộ
