Article
In this paper, we analysed In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) data from the registry of the Spanish Society of Fertility (SEF). This registry is not complete until 2014, when it started to be mandatory, as a part of the clinics did not report until that year. Also, information on patients is very limited. Our first purpose was to estimate the number of b...
Article
Analysts who research the effect of education on behaviour related to the transition to adulthood are often limited by information available from censuses and surveys, which generally collect only the highest level of education attained at the time of the interview. Unfortunately, this leads to extreme simplification of people's educational paths a...
Preprint
This paper presents a mixed model for studying the amount of time of care available from family members of elderly people with disabilities, mainly of irreversible type, like Alzheimer or other neurological diseases. This model starts with data obtained from a classical microsimulation model of kinship which provides descending genealogies of elder...

We study the health trajectories of the population aged over 60, comparing between one European and two Latin American countries (Spain, Chile and Costa Rica) which have similar longevity patterns. Our focus is on functional limitation and mortality risks, considering differences by gender, education and social participation. Data come from nationa...
Article
Changes in population and family structures are altering the provision of care for dependent older people. In Southern European countries like Spain, such care is still largely provided by family, typically spouses and adult daughters. However, an increasing proportion of women have entered the labour force, thereby affecting their availability. To...
Preprint
Changes in population and family structures are increasing the demand for old-age care that in southern European countries like Spain is still largely provided by family, typically spouses and adult daughters, although an increasing proportion of women have entered the labour force. To study the demand and supply balance of informal care and quanti...

En general, en los estudios que pretenden explicar el efecto de la educación sobre los comportamientos relacionados con la transición a la vida adulta, la variable más utilizada es el nivel educativo más alto alcanzado al momento de la entrevista. Desafortunadamente, esto lleva a simplificar en extremo la trayectoria educativa de las personas y no...

In this paper we undertake an exploratory analysis of regional fertility behaviours, using a data source still underutilized for that purpose: the results of the census question on the number of women�s live births until that moment. We analyse the progression of fertility control across cohorts and the territorial coherency of the evolution in tim...

Demographers can help define the concept of generation, and specifically why people feel they belong to a group based on their age. We present an example of such a demographic approach by referring to family generations, i.e. the partition of a person’s kin into three groups : lateral kinship, formed by siblings and first cousins, ascending kinship...

L¿objectiu d¿aquest article és avaluar la fiabilitat de les fonts estadístiques que recullen el nombre de ciutadans estrangers que viuen a Espanya, mitjançant tres tipus d¿anàlisi: primer, una comparació de les dades del Padró continu amb les del Cens de població de 2001; segon, analitzant la coherència de l¿evolució de fecunditat dels estrangers e...

A Europa, la fecundidad total disminuye a partir de 1960 y hasta la década de los noventa, manteniéndose desde entonces estable. En este trabajo se muestra que éste descenso se explica en gran parte por el retraso de la edad a la primomaternidad y el aumento de la infecundidad, mientras que la fecundidad de las familias prácticamente no ha tenido n...

En aquest treball s'estudia l'augment de la infecunditat en el context del descens històric de la fecunditat total, en un intent de demostrar que els canvis en el comportament reproductiu més recent (associats segons alguns autors a l'anomenada Segona Transició Demogràfica) es limiten a la desició del primer fill, però no una vegada ja se n'ha ting...

Marc Bloch, dans son livre sur l'histoire rurale française décrit une transition des structures agraires en France et dans une grande partie de l'Europe de l'ouest autour du XVIe siècle 2 . Cette transition signifia pour une grande partie de la paysannerie la transformation des tenures perpétuelles en tenures à bail à court terme. A partir de la se...
