PampelChicago University of Chicago Press20011 online resource (315 p.)Population and developmentDescription based upon print version of record.0-226-64525-8 Includes bibliographical references (p. 273-292) and index.pt. 1. The institutional context of population change -- pt. 2. Fertility -- pt. 3. Mortality -- pt. 4. Sex differences in mortality.Despite having similar economies and political systems, high-income nations show persistent diversity. In this pioneering work, Fred C. Pampel looks at fertility, suicide, and homicide rates in eighteen high-income nations to show how they are affected by institutional structures. European nations, for example, offer universal public benefits for men and women who are unable to work and have policies to ease the burdens of working mothers. The United States, in contrast, does not. This study demonstrates how public policy differences such as these affect childbearing among working women, moderate pressures for suicide and homicide among the young and old, and shape sex difference in suicide and homicide. The Institutional Context of Population Change cuts across numerous political and sociological topics, including political sociology, stratification, sex and gender, and aging. It persuasively shows the importance of public policies for understanding the demographic consequences of population change and the importance of demographic change for understanding the consequences of public policies.Population and development (Chicago, Ill.)Population policyCross-cultural studiesFertility, HumanCross-cultural studiesEconomic developmentCross-cultural studiespopulation, international, fertility, mortality, suicide, homicide, gender, childbearing, government, social programs, public benefits, working women, labor, economy, nonfiction, class, aging, wealth, stratification, economics, poverty, inequality, income, demographics, economic development, policy, work, crime, violence, employment.Population policyFertility, HumanEconomic development304.6/09172/2Pampel Fred C140542MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910792593003321The institutional context of population change3726743UNINA
