Fertility and Religion

Wednesday, 18 July 2018: 17:30-19:20
Location: 706 (MTCC SOUTH BUILDING)
RC41 Sociology of Population (host committee)

Language: English

Religion is both a belief system and a principle mode of social organization, distinguishing one social group from another. Fertility is an individual decision, but also a social process whereby groups reproduce themselves. What is the relation between these two central social phenomena? Is religious affiliation related to fertility through the belief system governing action, or is the driving mechanism that of group affiliation, with belief systems translating the imperatives of membership into principles of action? The view will be both historical as well as contemporaneous, comparing societies over time and space in an attempt to generate a fruitful debate on the topic.
