This book describes the project?s at times dramatic history, where issues of personal integrity and the role of social sciences were heavily debated. These discussions were fueled by the rapid and far-reaching digitalization in society at large and also within social sciences. As such, Project Metropolitan came to symbolize the benefits and potential risks related to an expanding body of research based on large groups of individuals and multiple register data sources. At the outset, the project?s founders sought to answer the following question: ?Why do some get on better in life than others?? One of the main aims of the project was to study the long-term impact of conditions in childhood. The book therefore also includes an updated presentation of the main findings, as they have been conveyed in over 160 publications to date. These publications cover a wide array of topics and phenomena such as social mobility and education, substance abuse and crime, health and ill-health, peer influences and family relations, and adult lives of adopted children. Today Project Metropolitan is known as the ?Stockholm Birth Cohort Multigenerational Study (SBC Multigen)? and is still in full vigor. From its original group of 15,000 children, the study has become multi-generational by adding data about their parents, siblings, children, nieces and nephews. As they approach their late 60s, it will also be possible to follow these ?children? into retirement and old-age. In the concluding chapter the author discusses some of the challenges contemporary social research is facing. What are the current threats to academic freedom and what opportunities do the unique data registers in countries like Sweden provide?" 606 $aSociety & social sciences$2bicssc 606 $aSociety & culture: general$2bicssc 606 $aSocial issues & processes$2bicssc 606 $aEthical issues & debates$2bicssc 615 7$aSociety & social sciences 615 7$aSociety & culture: general 615 7$aSocial issues & processes 615 7$aEthical issues & debates 700 $aStenberg$b Sten-Åke$4aut$0930356 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910296434103321 996 $aBorn in 1953$92092742 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05912nam 22007815 450 001 9910766880303321 005 20251008152046.0 010 $a9783031260247 010 $a3031260244 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-031-26024-7 035 $a(CKB)29092879600041 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC30977730 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL30977730 035 $a(OCoLC)1411306436 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-031-26024-7 035 $a(EXLCZ)9929092879600041 100 $a20231128d2023 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aFertility, Family, and Social Welfare between France and Empire $eThe Colonial Politics of Population /$fedited by Margaret Cook Andersen, Melissa K.

Each of the essays draws on meticulous archival research to bring us some of the most innovative scholarship in the field of French Studies today. This collection?s astounding chronological scope provides us with more than four centuries of history and its global approach gives us a birds-eye view of empire?s most intimate interventions.? ?Jessica Lynne Pearson, Associate Professor of History, Macalester College, USA This edited volume focuses on social welfare and medicine within the French Empire and brings together important currents in both imperial history and the history of medicine. The book covers a broad period from the first colonial empires that existed prior to 1830, the ?new imperialism? of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the process of decolonisation in the mid-twentieth century, and the ?afterlives? of colonial regimes in France and newly-independent states. Building on recent scholarship, this volume examines the extension of imperialism into the post-colonial period. The chapters examine a range of topics developing our understanding of the reasons why colonial states saw the family as a site for biopolitical intervention. The authors argue that experts built a racialised body of knowledge about colonial populations through census data and medical understandings of problems such as child mortality and infertility. They show that by analysing and compiling data on fertility, population growth (or decline), and health, this fuelled interventions designed to ensure a stable workforce, and that protecting children and mothers, vaccinating vulnerable populations, and creating modern, sanitary housing were all initiatives also aimed at serving larger goals of preserving colonial rule. Finally, the book shows that social welfare projects during the French Empire reflected concerns about race, differential fertility, and migration that continued well after decolonisation.
