Family members shape each other's preferences and constraints regarding fertility (this thesis). 2. Intergenerational correlations in fertility are weak but present (this thesis). 3. \Evolutionary demography is best viewed not as an alternative to traditional approaches but as a general theoretical framework that can inform and enhance existing research endeavors" (Kaplan and Lancaster 2003, p. 212). 4. When fertility decisions are concerned, people often do not behave as pure rational agents. 5. Fertility in the Netherlands will increase if the labour market can be reformed to better match individual preferences regarding the work-life balance, child care and care for the elderly { as long as flex-contracts are not synonymous to job-insecurity. 6. \Design depends largely on constraints" (Charles Eames, 1972).

    THE BALANCE OF BIRTHS AND DEATHS THE INSTITUTE OF ECONOMICS t)F THE BROOKINGS INSTITUTION THE INSTITUTE OF ECONOMICS THE BROOKINGS INSTITUTION The Brookings Institution- Devoted to Public Service Through Research and Training in the Humanistic Sciences- was incorporated on December 8, 1927. Broadly stated, the Institution has two primary purposes: The first is to aid constructively in the development of sound national policies; and the second is to offer training of a supergraduate character to students of the social sciences. The Institution will maintain a·series of co-operating institutes, equipped to carry out comprehensive and inter-related research projects. Final responsibility for the determination of the Institution's policies and its program of work and for the administration of its endowment is vested in a sell-perpetuating Board of Trustees. The Trustees have, how­ ever, defined their position with reference to the investigations conducted by the Institution in a by-law provision reading as follows: "The primary function of the Trustees is not to express their views upon the scientific investigations conducted by any division of the Institution, but only to make it possible for such scientific work to be done under the most favorable auspices." Major responsibility for "formulating general policies. and co­ ordinating the activities of the various divisions of the Institution" is vested in the President. The by-laws provide also that "there shall be an Advisory Council selected by the President from among the scientific staff of the Institution and representing the different divisions of the Institution."

  • Inflation, Deflation, and Economic Development
    Inflation, Deflation, and Economic Development Rattan J. Bhatia* EVELOPMENTAL EFFORTS by most of the less developed d countries have been accompanied during the postwar period by inflationary price increases. Whether this is inevitable and whether any relationship exists between the rate of price change and the rate of economic growth are questions subject to considerable debate on theoretical grounds. Statistical studies of the rates of growth and the rates of price change in various less developed countries have also been made to determine whether there is any systematic relationship between them, especially in the postwar period.1 The purpose of this paper is to carry the search for a statistical relationship between the rate of price change and the rate of economic growth back to an earlier stage of economic history. For this purpose, long-run developments are studied in five countries, the United King- dom, Germany, Sweden, Canada, and Japan. Growth is examined for the United Kingdom and Germany only up to 1914, but for different reasons: after World War I the United Kingdom was faced with considerable structural maladjustments, and at the same time Germany underwent large territorial changes. The growth of the other three countries is examined up to the beginning of World War II. For each country except the United Kingdom, the period examined includes the years during which, according to Rostow, the country had its "take-off."2 The reader may be warned at this stage that, even if some consistent statistical relationship could be established between price changes and rates of economic growth, this relationship would not justify any definite conclusion about causation.

  • Voluntary Associations and Net Fertility During the Swedish Demographic Transition
    Eur J Population https://doi.org/10.1007/s10680-018-9465-5 Voluntary Associations and Net Fertility During the Swedish Demographic Transition Johan Junkka1 Received: 29 February 2016 / Accepted: 30 December 2017 Ó The Author(s) 2018. This article is an open access publication Abstract This study investigates the role of changing social relations for fertility decline during the European fertility transition. The growth of voluntary associa- tions at the end of the nineteenth century entailed a radical shift in the landscape of social relations in Sweden. By combining micro-census data from 1890 to 1900 with local-level membership data for three voluntary association groups, this article assesses the effect of parish-level voluntary association size on net fertility in Sweden using mixed-effects Poisson regression models. The results show that the adoption of fertility limitation during the transition period was associated with the creation and diffusion of the idea of respectability within large social network organisations, an idea that has previously been shown to be connected to fertility limitation. Furthermore, by applying a social network perspective, the results show that the strength of the effect was dependent on the structure of the social networks in terms of size, density, and homogeneity. Voluntary association size had the strongest effect for the free churches, which created dense heterogeneous networks through systems of social control, while the size of the temperance association showed no effect on fertility because the connections between nodes were sparse.

  • Tracing Environmental Change and Human Impact As Recorded in Sediments from Coastal Areas of the Northwestern Baltic Proper Lena Norbäck Ivarsson
    in sediments from coastal areas of the northwestern Baltic Proper environmental change and human impact as recorded Tracing Te eutrophication of the Baltic Sea due to increased anthropogenic nutrient loads during the 20th century is well documented and studied. However, in the Baltic Sea drainage area, humans have afected the environment longer than the environmental monitoring can provide data for. Sediment records from lakes and seas can provide fundamental data on the environmental conditions before ecosystems were impacted by humans and give the range of natural variation. Tis thesis presents diatom and geochemistry stratigraphies from fve sediment records along the southeast coast of Sweden, northwestern Baltic Proper. Tese records cover time periods of 500 years to more than 2000 years. Te diatom stratigraphies and geochemical proxies allow for reconstruction of environmental histories at these sites. Te outcomes of this thesis highlight the importance of a longer time perspective than the environmental monitoring can provide. Lena Norbäck Ivarsson carries out research within the feld of environmental science with a focus on understanding past and present ecosystem responses to environmental changes. She holds a M.Sc. in biology from Stockholm University and this is her PhD thesis.

    THE ORIGINS OF THE SWEDISH LUTHERAN MINISTRY IN THE SOUTH AFRICAN REPUBLIC Frederick Hale University of Stellenbosch Abstract The Church of Sweden Mission established a significant presence on the Witwatersrand early in the twentieth century, but this was preceded by abortive Swedish Lutheran missionary endeavours there during the 1890s. Paul Nilsson Gullander, an erstwhile Swedish immigrant in the USA, undertook a semi-private initiative in 1898. He conducted a dual ministry to both Scandinavian immigrants and African mineworkers until forced by illness and the Second Anglo-Boer War to leave the South African Republic. 1 INTRODUCTION During the two decades following the onset of the Witwatersrand gold rush in 1886, numerous missionary agencies undertook evangelistic and social ministries amongst the chiefly African labourers whose urbanisation fundamentally and permanently altered the demographic profile of Johannesburg and environs. Methodist, Anglican, Presbyterian, Roman Catholic, and other churches were soon gathered, while such nondenominational bodies as the Cape General Mission and the Compounds Mission played their parts in a growing amalgam of Christianity. Beginning in 1902, the Church of Sweden Mission (CSM), a Lutheran body which had been active in Natal since the 1870s, extended its work to Johannesburg, initially to minister to members of its rural congregations who had joined the exodus to the mines where, their Nordic pastors feared, they would be subjected to moral degradation and lose their faith. This general Studia Historiae Ecclesiasticae, May/Mei 2006 Vol XXXII, No/Nr 1, 285-308 Frederick Hale topic is the subject of the present writer’s recent doctoral thesis at the University of Pretoria.1 Before the Scandinavian mission history began, there was another Swedish Lutheran who was not affiliated with that organisation (Scandinavian Mission) undertook missionary work there.
