We are especially honored that we have been given the opportunity to host the 11th EPC, 25 years after the first EPC in 1987. The special theme of this year’s conference is “Gender, Policies and Popu- lation”. Over the past decades gender issues have moved to the center of demographic research. The persistence of gender differences in health, longevity, and mortality, the gendered patterns of migration, and the in- creasing importance of gender equality for fertility development in Europe have spurred demographers’ interest in how gender shapes demographic outcomes and how demographic development shapes gender relation- ships. Sweden has been one of the forerunners in Europe to strive for gender equality in all areas of life. Policies have been geared towards pro- moting equality among all people in society, irrespective of gender, sexual orientation, class, family form, or ethnic or migratory background. In many demographic studies Sweden has become a reference country in examining and comparing the complex linkages between gender equality, policies, and demographic events. This conference offers a forum to present and discuss research advanc- es in demography, many of which explore the interrelationship between these domains. We hope that this conference contributes to and intensifies the exchange among demographers to further our understanding of the association between society and demography. On behalf of the International and the National Organizing Committees we express our warm welcome and wish you all a stimulating, exciting, and productive conference. Elizabeth Thomson, Helen Eriksson, Gunnar Andersson and Gerda Neyer – National Executive Committee 4 EPC 2012 Dear colleagues, The European Association for Population Studies (EAPS) is very pleased to welcome you to the 2012 European Population Conference. This EPC brings together a record number of population scientists from a wide range of disciplines. Participants come from all corners of Europe as well as other parts of the world. We are pleased to see you all here at EPC 2012 in Stockholm! From the start the EPC has been a general population conference covering a broad range of subjects related to the field of population studies. Never- theless each conference has also had a special focus. In close consultation with the local organizing team in Stockholm for EPC 2012 “Gender, Poli- cies and Populations” was chosen as the focus. Special attention will be dedicated to this in the opening ceremony as well as in a range of sessions in the conference program. This is the third conference in a row where new submission records were set. For this EPC we received more than 1,250 submissions from scientists interested to present their work at this meeting. We expect to welcome some 900 participants to the conference. Although the number of submis- sions and participants has increased, the main format of the 2012 Euro- pean Population Conference remains largely the same: it comprises a wide range of focused parallel and poster sessions. The Council of EAPS expresses its gratitude to the Swedish organizing team chaired by Elizabeth Thomson. Together we have worked to make this conference an appealing opportunity for scientific exchange. We look forward to your contributions to another successful EAPS conference and wish you an engaging EPC 2012 in beautiful Stockholm, Sweden! On behalf of the EAPS Council, Helga de Valk Executive Secretary EPC 2012 5 ORGANIZERS OF THE EPC 2012 The EUROPEAN ASSOCIATION FOR POPULATION STUDIES (EAPS) was founded in 1983. EAPS is a scientific association of individual members and Affiliated Institutions. It is a key network of population specialists from a host of disciplines. EAPS is an international and multidisciplinary forum for population studies with a special focus on Europe. Demographic developments in Europe as well as the causes and consequences of popula- tion trends are a challenging field for scientific study and debate. Scientists from a variety of disciplines are actively engaged in the study of European population trends and future prospects. Since a number of the issues addressed are common throughout the world, not only Europeans take a keen interest in European population. Next to that European popu- lation experts are also working in or on non-European countries, including the developing countries. The aim of EAPS is to promote these studies and to foster the co-operation between scientists involved. In addition, EAPS stimulates the interest in population issues among governments, national and international organizations and the general public. The main scientific event of EAPS is its bi-annual European Population Conference (EPC). EAPS also organizes seminars, workshops and working group meetings in close collabora- tion with its Affiliated Institutions and other organizations. A number of activities and initiatives are carried out under EAPS auspices: – Population Europe: the European Population Partnership – European Doctoral School of Demography (EDSD) – European Journal of Population (EJP) Membership EAPS is a scientific association of individual members and Affiliated Institutions. Mem- bership is open at low cost to individuals interested or engaged in European population studies. Membership is not restricted to European nationals or residents. All information on how to become a member or how to update your membership information can be found on the website. Up to date information on activities and population-related information relevant to the members can be found on the EAPS website www.eaps.nl. The website also includes back- ground information on EAPS, the composition of the Council and a listing of publications. Contact us at: EAPS P.O.

SUDA is part of the Department of Sociology of Stock- holm University, and it is home to an internationally oriented program of research and training. We offer a multi-disciplinary one- and two-year master’s program in demogra- phy, a doctoral program in sociological demography, and training in demography through individual courses. These programs are the only comprehensive demographic training pro- grams in Sweden and are well connected with research schools throughout the world. Our research concentrates on family dynamics – childbearing, partnerships, households – and the cultural, social, economic, and political conditions that underlie them. Most of the work we do is comparative, engaging data from countries throughout Europe and the rest of the world. We are particularly interested in the effects of social policy, gender relation- ships and attitudes or values on demographic behavior. Current main projects include: • Stockholm University Linnaeus Center on Social Policy and Family Dynamics in Europe (SPaDE): This project focuses on the relationship between social policies and fertility and family dynamics. Policy domains in focus include parental benefits, education, labor markets and conditions of work, and housing. • Register-based Research in Nordic Demography (SUNDEM): This research line is part of the Swedish Initiative on Microdata in the Social and Medical Sciences (SIMSAM). It focuses on family dynamics in Sweden and the other Nordic countries, making use of their population-register data. • Family and Working Life among Young Adults in the 21st Century (YAPS): This

  • PROJECTE ÚTER Atenció Aranyes! Just As We Needed Many Voices to Make This Mural Possible, Now We Need Many More to Bring It to Life
    PROJECT ÚTER Project Uter Considering the intense mobilizations that have taken place in Spain in recent years, a “debate” about abor- tion seemed necessary and liberating to us. We consi- dered addressing the issue using a graphic narrative, leaving aside the pitfalls of written language, so that the work could turn into a useful communication tool that would allow us to work on a very historic and universal topic that is still taboo around the world. Our aim is to create images that communicate. Listening first, we began to collect people’s stories in order to engage in dialogue with them and generate conversations. Some stories turned into anecdotes that appear translated into metaphors in the final drawing. Others helped to frame the issue, to gain perspecti- ve, to problematize it. Just like the Beehive Design Collective does, we reinvigorate traditions of oral history and story-telling images that encourage slow, methodical consideration. Also, we use animals to represent people’s stories. If you look carefully, you’ll see how most of the names of animals that appear in the poster are used to insult women, especially in the Spanish language. They suddenly became the heroines of this story, so we can re-appropriate those words in an empowering way We want to share these images and the process that made them by organizing presentations in which we tell the stories behind this graphic. This zine is a written version so folks can take it home with them and explore the images more thoroughly. We are always open to feedback and new ideas.

  • The Effect of Abortion Legalization on Fertility, Marriage, and Long-Term Outcomes for Women
    The Effect of Abortion Legalization on Fertility, Marriage, and Long-term Outcomes for Women Libertad González* Universitat Pompeu Fabra and Barcelona GSE Sergi Jiménez-Martín Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona GSE and FEDEA Natalia Nollenberger IE Business School-IE University Judit Vall Castello Universitat de Barcelona, IEB & CRES-UPF May 2018 Abstract: We evaluate the short- and long-term effects for women of access to legal, subsidized abortion, by exploiting the Spanish legalization of abortion in 1985. We find robust evidence that the legalization led to an immediate decrease in the number of births to women aged 21 and younger. This effect was driven by provinces with a higher supply of abortion services. Young women affected by the reform were also less likely to marry. We also find that the affected cohorts of women achieved higher educational attainment, and reported higher life satisfaction 15 years after the reform. Keywords: Abortion, fertility, education, labor market outcomes, satisfaction JEL codes: J12, J13, I21, C21 * Corresponding author ([email protected]). We are grateful to seminar participants at UPF, Brunel University, UNU-MERIT at Maastricht University, XLI Simposio de la Asociación Española de Economía and at the Centre for Demographic Studies at UAB. All have provided very constructive comments and suggestions on earlier versions of this paper. We also thank the Spanish Ministry of Economy grant ECO2014-52238-R for its financial support. 1. Introduction Most countries in the world allow abortion in order to save a woman’s life. However, only 30% of all countries permit access to abortion on request, and 35% of them require economic or social reasons to grant access to abortion (UN World Abortion Policies 2013).

História, Ciências, Saúde – Manguinhos, Rio de Janeiro, v.23, n.1, jan.-mar. 2016, p.19-35. Abstract This paper examines the double life of misoprostol in Brazil, where it is illegally The biomedicalisation used by women as an abortifacient and legally used in obstetric hospital wards. Based on my doctoral and post- of illegal abortion: the doctoral anthropological research on contraception and abortion in Salvador, double life of misoprostol Bahia, this paper initially traces the “conversion” of misoprostol from a drug in Brazil to treat ulcers to a self-administered abortifacient in Latin America, and its later conversion to aneclectic global A biomedicalização do obstetric tool. It then shows how, while reducing maternal mortality, its use as aborto ilegal: a vida dupla an illegal abortifacient has reinforced the double reproductive citizenship regime do misoprostol no Brasil existing in countries with restrictive abortion laws and poor post-abortion care services, where poor women using it illegally are stigmatised, discriminated against and exposed to potentially severe health risks. Keywords: illegal abortion; misoprostol; reproductive health; biomedicalisation; Brazil. Resumo O artigo examina a vida dupla do misoprostol no Brasil, onde ele é usado ilegalmente por mulheres como um facilitador do aborto, e legalmente, em alas de obstetrícia de hospitais. Utilizei minhas pesquisas antropológicas de doutorado e pós-doutorado sobre contracepção e aborto em Salvador, Bahia. Começo retratando a “conversão” do misoprostol, medicamento usado para tratar úlceras, em um facilitador do aborto autoadministrado na América Latina, e sua conversão em uma ferramenta de obstetrícia global.
