Language: English
Session Type: Oral
Even in post-transitional societies demographic change continues: life expectancy, in general, continues to decline, but it does so at a different pace for different sections of the population, and there may even be reversals. These changes may be related to variations in health care, in living conditions or in patterns of behaviour. Similarly, fertility may increase or decrease, at different rates for different sections of the population, which may be related to changes in employment and in nuptiality patterns (or partnering patterns in general). These changes need also to be related to more macro-social changes which directly and indirectly effect demographic changes. The session will explore current changes in mortality and fertility and their relation to social structures and changes.
