Where have All the Babies Gone? - An Educational Perspective on Singapore’s Low Fertility (SIM Choon Kiat),-Epiloge (Shigeki Matsuda).This book describes the low fertility status in three developed Asian countries—Japan, South Korea, and Singapore—and outlines countermeasures for their declining birthrates. Based on the characteristics of each society, the authors discuss why their fertility rates have not yet recovered. Low fertility is a demographic phenomenon that first occurred in Europe and subsequently spread across other countries. Currently, the fertility rates in Europe are relatively stable, while those in developed Asian economies are the lowest worldwide. This may cause labor shortages and weaken their social security systems, undermining Asia’s social and economic sustainability despite its remarkable economic development. In response to low fertility, some Asian countries have implemented countermeasures: Japan has introduced measures based on childcare facilities and work–life balance. Similarly, since the mid-2000s South Korea has established countermeasures to promote a balance between work and child rearing, as well as expanded childcare services. Singapore began introducing countermeasures before the other two countries, including various advanced measures. Yet none of these countries has seen a full recovery in fertility rates. Based on a statistical analysis of survey results from the three countries, this book makes several important points. The first is that the policy has been ineffective in Japan due to a discrepancy between the needs of parents raising children and those who are the targets of the countermeasures. Second, the work–life balance and child-rearing support measures that have been promoted in Japan and South Korea have not affected the number of children that women want to have. Third, Singaporean values tend to place individual emphasis on competition with oneself (education and career status) rather than on married life. This intense competition has lowered fertility rates. To restore these rates, each country must promote policies that better address its specific issues.Population Studies of Japan,2198-2724DemographyPopulationArea studiesPolitical sociologyLife cycle, HumanDemographyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X25000Population Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W38000Area Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22045Political Sociologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22170Life coursehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22310JapanPopulation policyKorea (South)Population policySingaporePopulation policyDemography.Population.Area studies.Political sociology.Life cycle, Human.Demography.Population Economics.Area Studies.Political Sociology.Life course.304.6320952Matsuda Shigekiedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910377838003321Low Fertility in Japan, South Korea, and Singapore2018946UNINA03370nam 22006495 450 991029983260332120260415140233.01-4939-2751-510.1007/978-1-4939-2751-7(CKB)3710000000421676(EBL)2094776(SSID)ssj0001525102(PQKBManifestationID)11848545(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001525102(PQKBWorkID)11486470(PQKB)10181962(DE-He213)978-1-4939-2751-7(MiAaPQ)EBC2094776(PPN)186395922(EXLCZ)99371000000042167620150604d2015 u| 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrSilicon Analog Components Device Design, Process Integration, Characterization, and Reliability /by Badih El-Kareh, Lou N. Hutter1st ed. 2015.New York, NY :Springer New York :Imprint: Springer,2015.1 online resource (634 p.)Description based upon print version of record.1-4939-2750-7 Includes bibliographical references and index at the end of each chapters.The World Is Analog -- Review of Single-Crystal Silicon Properties -- PN Junctions -- Rectifying and Ohmic Contacts -- Bipolar and Junction Field-Effect Transistors -- High-Voltage and Power Transistors -- Passive Components -- Process Integration -- Mismatch and Noise -- Chip Reliability.This book covers modern analog components, their characteristics, and interactions with process parameters. It serves as a comprehensive guide, addressing both the theoretical and practical aspects of modern silicon devices and the relationship between their electrical properties and processing conditions. Based on the authors’ extensive experience in the development of analog devices, this book is intended for engineers and scientists in semiconductor research, development and manufacturing. The problems at the end of each chapter and the numerous charts, figures and tables also make it appropriate for use as a text in graduate and advanced undergraduate courses in electrical engineering and materials science.Electronic circuitsOptical materialsElectronicsMaterialsCircuits and Systemshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T24068Electronic Circuits and Deviceshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31010Optical and Electronic Materialshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z12000Electronic circuits.Optical materials.ElectronicsMaterials.Circuits and Systems.Electronic Circuits and Devices.Optical and Electronic Materials.620620.11295620.11297621.3815El-Kareh Badihauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut720566Hutter Lou Nauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autBOOK9910299832603321Silicon Analog Components2193394UNINA
