Journal ArticleDOI
Explaining fertility transitions
TL;DR: It is suggested that the crisis in the authors' understanding of fertility transitions is more apparent than real and an interactive approach to explaining fertility transitions that is closely allied to existing theories but focuses on conditions that lead couples to switch from postnatal to prenatal controls on family size is suggested.

Population under a cap on greenhouse gas emissions
TL;DR: A cap on greenhouse gas emissions makes total emissions a fixed common-property resource and population increases under a cap are self-limiting: a population increase raises labor and reduces emissions per unit of labor, which lowers incomes and fertility as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nutrition transition and its health outcomes.
TL;DR: The existing burden of undernutrition in developing countries is thus compounded by the adverse effects of the nutrition transition, notably the increasing prevalence of obesity and non-communicable diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term effects of the demographic transition on family and kinship networks in Britain.
TL;DR: Wide fertility declines have led to population aging, initially resulting from reductions in fertility and more recently compounded by mortality improvement at older ages, and while countries have shown some variations in the timing and magnitude, broadly similar trends are observed.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Social History of Disease: Contextualizing the Rise and Fall of Social Inequalities in Cause-Specific Mortality
TL;DR: This article highlights opportunities for further development, specifically highlighting the role of stage duration in maintaining social inequalities in cause-specific mortality, and pair an ideal-types analysis with mortality data to explore hypothesized incidence rates of diseases.
