Synopsis

Derived from a conference held by the International Union for the Scientific Study of Populations, these papers are extremely wide-ranging and explore a variety of ways in which the position of women in a culture affects, or is itself affected by, demographic patterns of population change. Many of the papers are concerned with the links between the changing position of women in many cultures and the demographic transition to a situation of low birth and death rates.

Review:

`This benchmark study serves as a timely reminder of how much basic conceptual and empirical work remains to be done before the calls to engender demography and population policy, heard with increasing frequency since the Cairo conference of September 1994, will be more than slogans.'
