Sex differences in mortality. 330 $aDespite having similar economies and political systems, high-income nations show persistent diversity. In this pioneering work, Fred C. Pampel looks at fertility, suicide, and homicide rates in eighteen high-income nations to show how they are affected by institutional structures. European nations, for example, offer universal public benefits for men and women who are unable to work and have policies to ease the burdens of working mothers. The United States, in contrast, does not. This study demonstrates how public policy differences such as these affect childbearing among working women, moderate pressures for suicide and homicide among the young and old, and shape sex difference in suicide and homicide. The Institutional Context of Population Change cuts across numerous political and sociological topics, including political sociology, stratification, sex and gender, and aging. It persuasively shows the importance of public policies for understanding the demographic consequences of population change and the importance of demographic change for understanding the consequences of public policies. 410 0$aPopulation and development (Chicago, Ill.) 606 $aPopulation policy$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aFertility, Human$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aEconomic development$vCross-cultural studies 610 $apopulation, international, fertility, mortality, suicide, homicide, gender, childbearing, government, social programs, public benefits, working women, labor, economy, nonfiction, class, aging, wealth, stratification, economics, poverty, inequality, income, demographics, economic development, policy, work, crime, violence, employment. 615 0$aPopulation policy 615 0$aFertility, Human 615 0$aEconomic development 676 $a304.6/09172/2 700 $aPampel$b Fred C$0140542 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792593003321 996 $aThe institutional context of population change$93726743 997 $aUNINA
