The long sexual revolution : English women, sex, and contraception, 1800-1975
Between 1800 and 1975, sexuality in the West was transformed. Hera Cook shows how the growing effectiveness of contraception gradually eroded the connection between sexuality and reproduction. The increasing control over fertility was crucial to the remaking of heterosexual physical sexual behaviour and had a massive impact on women's lives. Dr Cook charts how, why, and when attitudes towards sex changed from the repression of the nineteenth century to the sexualrevolution of the 1960s.

But at that time becoming a father was not part of the deal, and he signed away all paternity rights. Two years later he turns up, unexpected and unauthorized for the baby's christening.

NÜFUS POLİTİKALARININ REFAH VE BÜYÜME MALİYETLERİ: GENEL DENGE ÇÖZÜMLEMESİNE DAYALI YENİ BULGULAR
Bu makale, saptırıcı vergi ve sübvansiyonlara dayalı nüfus politikalarının refah düzeyi ve büyüme oranı üzerinde yaratacağı etkiler için, kuramsal bir çözümleme sunmaktadır. Makale, refah üzerindeki etkiler için, doğurganlığın içsel olduğu bir ardışık-nesiller genel denge modeli kurmaktadır. Eğer çocuk bakım süresi üzerindeki saptırıcı vergi (veya sübvansiyon), çocuk bakım masrafı üzerindeki saptırıcı vergiden (veya sübvansiyondan) büyükse, refah kaybı ekonominin gelişmişlik düzeyi ile birlikte artmaktadır. Makale, büyüme üzerindeki etkiler için, büyümeyi içsel beşeri sermaye birikiminin belirlediği ve doğurganlığın da içsel olduğu bir ardışık-nesiller genel denge büyüme modeli kurmaktadır. Doğum yanlısı saptırıcı politikalar, optimal eğitim harcamalarım azaltarak büyüme oranı üzerinde olumsuz etki yaratmaktadır ve büyüme oranı üzerindeki bu olumsuz etki, eğitim harcamalarının yaşam boyu getirisi ile birlikte artmaktadır. Her iki model de, doğurganlığın, hem kalıcı olarak yenilenme düzeyinin altına düşmesini, hem de uzun süreler boyunca yenilenme düzeyinin altında kalmasını açıklayabilmektedir.

Reproduction and adaptation
\"In the space of one generation major changes have begun to take place in the field of human reproduction. A rapid increase in the control of fertility and the understanding and treatment of sexual health issues have been accompanied by an emerging threat to reproductive function linked to increasing environmental pollution and dramatic changes in lifestyle. Organised around four key themes, this book provides a valuable review of some of the most important recent findings in human reproductive ecology. Major topics include the impact of the environment on reproduction, the role of physical activity and energetics in regulating reproduction, sexual maturation and ovulation assessment and demographic, health and family planning issues. Both theoretical and practical issues are covered, including the evolution and importance of the menopause and the various statistical methods by which researchers can analyse characteristics of the menstrual cycle in field studies\"-- Provided by publisher.

second demographic transition: A concise overview of its development
This article gives a concise overview of the theoretical development of the concept of the “second demographic transition” since it was coined in 1986, its components, and its applicability, first to European populations and subsequently also to non-European societies as well. Both the demographic and the societal contrasts between the first demographic transition (FDT) and the second demographic transition (SDT) are highlighted. Then, the major criticisms of the SDT theory are outlined, and these issues are discussed in the light of the most recent developments in Europe, the United States, the Far East, and Latin America. It turns out that three major SDT patterns have developed and that these evolutions are contingent on much older systems of kinship and family organization.
Significance At the end of the historical declines in both mortality and fertility (the “first demographic transition”), new demographic phenomena developed in the Western World. Therefore, new theoretical frameworks were needed to explain features such as the baby bust, the systematic postponement of marriage and parenthood, subreplacement fertility, the rise of alternative forms of partnerships, and parenthood outside marriage. The “second demographic transition” (SDT) theory is such an attempt. Although it accepts the major tenets of bounded rational economic choice, it also allows for autonomous preference drift by relying on Maslow’s theory of shifting needs. As such, an essentially cultural component is being added.

Look how happy I'm making you : stories
\"The women in Polly Rosenwaike's Look How Happy I'm Making You want to be mothers, or aren't sure they want to be mothers, or--having recently given birth--are overwhelmed by what they've wrought. Sharp and unsettling, wry and moving in its depiction of love, friendship, and family, this collection expands the conversation about what having a baby looks like.\"-- From publisher's description.
Book
Offspring
Despite recent advances in our understanding of the genetic basis of human behavior, little of this work has penetrated into formal demography. Very few demographers worry about how biological processes might affect voluntary behavior choices that have demographic consequences even though behavioral geneticists have documented genetics effects on variables such as parenting and divorce. Offspring: Human Fertility Behavior in Demographic Perspective brings together leading researchers from a wide variety of disciplines to review the state of research in this emerging field and to identify promising research directions for the future.
