Abstract

The Death Rate Birth Rate Inverse Theorem (Group Theory) Given that the birth rate is dropping unsustainably for human civilization, and life extension is becoming more in reach, the individuals with extended lives may or MAY NOT successfully counteract the declining birth rate by contributing to civilizational sustainability.

Child-free in the Perspective of Positive Law in Indonesia
Article
Full-text available
  • Apr 2025
The decline in birth rates in Indonesia, reflected in the decreasing Total Fertility Rate and the increasing percentage of women choosing to be child-free, raises concerns about the country’s demographic structure. The child-free phenomenon is influenced by external factors such as economic and social conditions, as well as internal factors like decision-making maturity and family experiences, significantly impacting Indonesia’s population dynamics. From an Islamic legal perspective, the decision not to have children or to be child-free is recognized and permitted, considering the underlying motives. According to Imam Al-Ghazali, the act of rejecting the existence of children, if done before the sperm enters the woman’s womb, is legitimate and permissible. Good motives, such as financial or health reasons, are acceptable, while incorrect motives render the child-free decision impermissible. Legally, the choice to be child-free is protected by the Indonesian constitution and laws that guarantee human rights, personal freedom, and gender equality. Health policies and family planning also support the right of individuals or couples to decide on the number of children or to choose not to have children. Although there are no regulations prohibiting being child-free, the state still views the purpose of marriage as having good and healthy offspring, while respecting individual rights and freedoms. The state is expected to create policies that support individual choices while maintaining population balance to prevent potential sex recession and ensure the continuity of future generations.

Gender and work–family balance in the time of pandemic: A comparative study of policy and practice in the UK and South Korea
Article
Full-text available
  • Mar 2025
This article explores gender inequality in work–family balance since the pandemic from a comparative perspective. It examines the impact of COVID-19 restrictions on working mothers in the UK and South Korea, particularly the factors affecting their work–family balance. It also critically analyses work–family balance policies from a gender perspective. While a number of studies have examined work–family balance issues in both countries, there has been little comparative research on working mothers’ perceptions of the way childcare/unpaid work is distributed, and few policy comparisons involving the two countries. The findings from surveys conducted in 2020 show that mothers in both countries not only did more unpaid work but encountered challenges in balancing work and family during the pandemic. This article argues that policies must be further developed to promote equal sharing of paid and unpaid work between men and women.

Pushes and pulls of father leave policy reform: Unpacking divergent father leave reforms in the Czech Republic and South Korea
Article
Full-text available
  • Mar 2025
The development of father leave policies marks a critical step toward gender equality in family policy. Despite promising policy developments, father leave policies continue to face resistance and negative feedback from various stakeholders, constraining their development. Their implementation has exhibited considerable variation across countries, ranging from mere symbolic gestures to substantive reforms. This article provides a comprehensive framework for understanding their evolution, emphasising that progress depends not solely on public support but on a mix of factors, including electoral competition, policy diffusion, negative feedback, and crises. The contrasting outcomes observed in South Korea and the Czech Republic highlight how similar drivers can produce divergent policy responses, challenging the view that drivers (like crises or electoral competition) have a predictable effect on policy change. This complexity necessitates a re-evaluation of existing theoretical frameworks to more accurately reflect the intricate dynamics at play in policy development.

The Fertility Education Initiative: responding to the need for enhanced fertility and reproductive health awareness amongst young people in the United Kingdom
Article
  • Oct 2024
  • Hum Fertil
The need for fertility education arises from changing patterns of family formation in recent times. Young people feel unprepared for how best to plan their career and family and have little idea of the various factors that may influence their fertility later in their life. Research shows young people would like to know more and need the information to be conveyed in a way that is engaging and helps them to integrate it at their current life stage. The Fertility Education Initiative (FEI) was founded in 2016 to address the need for improved fertility and reproductive health awareness and ensure young people are equipped with the relevant information to meet their reproductive and family building needs. This paper serves as a historical record of the genesis of the FEI and its impact to date.

Visualizing Underemployment Dynamics in Australia: Combining Sankey and Sequence Analysis Plots
Article
  • Mar 2023
This visualization uses annual data from the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey to illustrate the dynamics of underemployment for Australian men and women in their early careers (ages 25–34 years). Visualizing the dynamics of underemployment reveals that it is a persistent and gender-biased issue. Women are more likely to experience underemployment in their early careers compared with men. Additionally, women are more likely to become trapped in a cycle of underemployment and inactivity, leading to unfavorable long-term work experiences. This disparity highlights the need for policies that improve women’s human capital and productivity by addressing underemployment in their early careers.

The COVID-19 Pandemic: Changes in Parent–Child Activities at Home from Spring 2020 to Spring 2021 from a Cross-Cultural View
Article
Full-text available
  • Oct 2023
This study explored young children’s (2–8 years old) daily activities during the first lockdown with the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic (spring/2020, T1) and a year later (spring/2021, T2) from a cross-cultural perspective. It describes parent–child literacy and digital activities in Bulgaria, Israel, and Spain. Participating parents (747 in T1 and 432 in T2) answered online questionnaires about the frequency of parent–child literacy activities (alphabetic, book reading, and play) and digital activities (joint activities, selecting content, scaffolding) and the child’s screen time. The findings indicated moderate parent–child literacy and digital activities during the time points. A series of ANCOVAs revealed differences between time periods and cultures beyond the demographic measures (child’s age, parent’s education and age, and family size). During the first lockdown, parent–child joint digital activities and the child’s screen time were higher than a year later. A year later, parents were more involved in book reading, literacy play activities, and scaffolding their children’s use of digital devices. Interactions between the period and culture showed that Bulgarian and Spanish parents were more involved in their children’s literacy and digital activities than Israeli parents. Spanish children had more independent screen time than Bulgarian and Israeli children. Associations between literacy and digital activities implied a consistent parenting style across the activities.
