The ABC of demographic behaviour: How the interplays of alleles, brains, and contexts over the life course should shape research aimed at understanding population processes
TL;DR: This paper proposes core innovations in the strategy of research on demographic behaviour, a shift of attention away from events and towards a focus on dynamic processes and their interplay, away from a preoccupation with marriage and divorce, births, deaths, migrations, and household structure.
