Sommario/riassunto

The Politics of Race, Ethnicity and Language in National Censuses examines the ways that states have attempted to pigeon-hole the



people within their boundaries into racial, ethnic, and language categories. These attempts, whether through American efforts to divide the US population into mutually exclusive racial categories, or through the Soviet system of inscribing nationality categories on internal passports, have important implications not only for people's own identities and life chances, but for national political and social processes as well. The book reviews the history of these categorizing efforts by the state, and offers a theoretical context for examining them, illustrating the case with studies from a range of  countries.

Sommario/riassunto

This scholarly work, edited by Bernhard Felderer, compiles contributions from various economists and social scientists discussing the interplay between economic systems and demographic changes. The book explores the economic theories of fertility, family dynamics, and migration, as well as the influence of technical progress on economic and demographic variables. It highlights significant research on population economics, particularly within the German-speaking context, and provides insights into the relationship between demographic shifts and economic factors. The text is intended for academics, students, and practitioners interested in the intersection of economics and demography, offering both theoretical models and empirical analyses.
