ISBN: 9780199261864 / Angielski / Miękka / 456 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Does rapid population growth diminish countries' economic development prospects?

" Easterlin] has made clear, I think unambiguously, that the baby-boom generation is economically underprivileged merely because of its size. And in showing this, he demonstrates that population size can be as restrictive as a factor as sex, race, or class on equality of opportunity in the U.S." Jeffrey Madrick,...

ISBN: 9780226431963 / Angielski / Miękka / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Showing that the two disciplines have much to offer each other, this book bridges the demography/anthropology divide. The editors begin the volume with an...

Between 1965 and 1985, the Western world and the United States in particular experienced a staggering amount of social and economic change. In "Birth Quake, " Diane J. Macunovich argues that the common thread underlying all these changes was the post-World War II baby boom in particular, the passage of the baby boomers into young adulthood.
Macunovich focuses on the pervasive effects of changes in "relative cohort size," the ratio of young to middle-aged adults, as masses of young people tried to achieve the standard of living to which they had become accustomed in their parents' homes...

ISBN: 9780226645254 / Angielski / Twarda / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. 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,...
