Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Das Erwerbsverhalten verheirateter Frauen in der
Book SynopsisDas Arbeitsangebot verheirateter Frauen in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland wird unter Verwendung von Daten aus dem sozioökonomischen Panel statistisch untersucht. Ziel ist es, den Einfluß ausgewählter Faktoren auf das Arbeitsangebot zu bestimmen und die Frage zu beantworten, ob zwischen Frauen mit deutscher bzw. ausländischer Staatsbürgerschaft identische Faktoren ein gleiches Gewicht aufweisen. Das Arbeitsangebot wird unterteilt in die Partizipationsentscheidung, das Stundenangebot und in fixierte Arbeitszeiten. Zur Analyse werden das Lineare Wahrscheinlichkeitsmodell, das PROBIT-Modell, der Heckmann-Ansatz, das TOBIT- und das MULTINOMIALE LOGIT-Modell verwandt. Die Besonderheiten ergeben sich aus der expliziten Unterscheidung zwischen Frauen mit deutscher und ausländischer Staatsbürgerschaft und durch den Aufbau eines Modells mit fixierten Arbeitszeiten sowie der Verwendung adäquater Schätz- und Testverfahren, die ausführlich diskutiert werden.Table of Contents1 Einleitung.- 1.1 Problemstellung.- 1.2 Ziel und Aufbau.- 2 Entwicklungen am Arbeitsmarkt der Bundesrepublik Deutschland 1965–1984.- 2.1 Die Erwerbsbeteiligung.- 2.2 Die Teilzeiterwerbstätigkeit.- 2.3 Das Erwerbsverhalten im internationalen Vergleich.- 2.4 Zusammenfassung.- 3 Mikroökonomische Arbeitsangebotsmodelle.- 3.1 Das Arbeitsangebot des Haushalts.- 3.1.1 Lohnsatzvariationen und Arbeitsangebot.- 3.1.2 Nichterwerbseinkommen und Arbeitsangebot.- 3.2 Die Erwerbsbeteiligungsentscheidung.- 3.3 Die Aussagefähigkeit des einfachen Arbeitsangebotsmodells.- 3.4 Das Arbeitsangebotsmodell bei fixierter Arbeitszeit.- 3.5 Zusammenfassung.- 4 Ein ökonometrisches Modell zur Bestimmung des Arbeitsangebotes verheirateter Frauen.- 4.1 Ein erweitertes mikroökonomisches Modell und die ökonometrische Spezifikation.- 4.2 Ein ökonometrisches Modell.- 4.3 Ökonometrische Modellgleichungen — Ein Überblick.- 5 Ökonometrische Theorie.- 5.1 Die Analyse binärer endogener Variablen.- 5.1.1 Die KQ-Schätzung.- 5.1.2 Die PROBIT-Analyse.- 5.1.2.1 Das Modell.- 5.1.2.2 Die Interpretation der Koeffizienten.- 5.2 Die Analyse zensierter endogener Variablen.- 5.2.1 Die KQ-Schätzung.- 5.2.2 Das zweistufige Heckmann-Verfahren.- 5.2.3 Die TOBIT-Analyse.- 5.2.3.1 Der Maximum-Likelihood-Schätzansatz.- 5.2.3.2 Die Interpretation der Koeffizienten.- 5.3 Das MULTINOMIALE LOGIT-Modell bei fixierten Arbeitszeiten.- 5.3.1 Die ML-Schätzung.- 5.3.2 Die Interpretation der Koeffizienten.- 5.4 Gütemaße und Teststatistiken.- 5.5 Die Multikollinearitätsdiagnose.- 5.5.1 Die Variance-Inflation-Factors.- 5.5.2 Das Belsley-, Kuh- und Welsch Verfahren.- 6 Die statistische Analyse des Arbeitsangebotes verheirateter Frauen.- 6.1 Die Datenbasis.- 6.2 Die Modellvariablen.- 6.2.1 Die endogenen Variablen.- 6.2.2 Die exogenen Variablen.- 6.2.2.1 Die exogenen Variablen der Lohnsatzfunktion.- 6.2.2.2 Die exogenen Variablen der Arbeitsangebotsmodelle.- 6.3 Die Erwerbsbeteiligung verheirateter Frauen.- 6.3.1 Vorbemerkung.- 6.3.2 Die Schätzergebnisse.- 6.3.2.1 Frauen mit deutscher Staatsbürgerschaft.- 6.3.2.2 Frauen mit ausländischer Staatsbürgerschaft.- 6.3.2.3 Zusammenfassung.- 6.4 Die Bruttostundenlohnfunktion.- 6.4.1 Vorbemerkung.- 6.4.2 Die Schätzergebnisse.- 6.4.3 Zusammenfassung.- 6.5 Die Stundenangebotsfunktion.- 6.5.1 Vorbemerkung.- 6.5.2 Die Schätzergebnisse.- 6.5.2.1 Die Ergebnisse der OLS- und Heckmann-Schätzung.- 6.5.2.2 Die Ergebnisse der TOBIT-Schätzung.- 6.6 Das Erwerbsverhalten bei klassifizierten Arbeitszeiten.- 6.6.1 Vorbemerkung.- 6.6.2 Die Schätzergebnisse.- 6.6.3 Zusammenfassung.- 6.7 Zusammenfassung.- 7 Zusammenfassung.

Book SynopsisDas Buch beschäftigt sich mit der optimalen Ausgestaltung einer ökonomischen Gesichtspunkten folgenden selektiven Einwanderungspolitik. Auf Basis der theoretischen und ökonometrischen Analyse der Arbeitsmarkteffekte der Immigration wird die Selektionswirkung des kanadischen Punktesystems und der Auktionierung von Einwanderungszertifikaten anhand von Simulationen miteinander verglichen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, daß eine Versteigerung von Einwanderungszertifikaten an einheimische Unternehmen die aus ökonomischen Gesichtspunkten beste Option einer selektiven Einwanderungspolitik darstellt. Das Buch liefert dem Leser umfangreiches Hintergrundmaterial zur Entwicklung der Zuwanderung in die BRD und den geltenden institutionellen Regelungen hinsichtlich der Zuwanderung ausländischer Arbeitskräfte.Table of ContentsEinführung.- Zuwanderung in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland: Institutionelle Rahmenbedingungen, Migrationserfahrung und strukturelle Aspekte: Institutionelle Rahmenbedingungen; Strukturelle Aspekte der Ausländerbeschäftigung.- Einwanderungspolitik aus ökonomischer Sicht: Ein theoretisches Modell der Lohn- und Beschäftigungswirkungen der Immigration; selektive Nachfrage nach Migranten: Eine Kalibrierung der Einwanderungsgewinne; Selektion von Migranten: Politikoptionen; Evaluation der Effektivität verschiedener Politikoptionen.- Spezielle Probleme der Einführung einer selektiven Einwanderungspolitik: Langfristige Lohneffekte der Immigration: Empirische Evidenz; Dynamische Arbeitsmarkteffekte der Migration; Schlußbetrachtung.

Verlag Barbara Budrich Status and Ethnic Identity: A Study on First- and
Book SynopsisMigrants’ minority and majority identity are controversial political topics, offering insights into challenges of integration and social cohesion. Based on a two-dimensional model of ethnic identity, the book asks about the role of social status for migrants’ identification with their origin group and the majority population. It focuses on intergenerational differences, migrant visibility, status mismatch, and exposure in the receiving country. Results reveal forms of ethnic identity beyond the classical assumption of mutual exclusiveness, which suggests minority identity among status-lower, and majority identity among status-higher migrants.Table of ContentsFrom the Contents I INTRODUCTION 1 The notion of ethnic identity 2 Studying ethnic identity 3 The role of status 4 Research interest 5 Outline of this book II THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK 6 The two building blocks of social production function theory 6.1 Resources, goals, needs and utility: The hierarchy of social production functions 6.2 Maintaining and improving personal need satisfaction 7 Social production functions and context 8 A general model to explain migrants’ ethnic identity 8.1 Individual resources 8.2 Contexts and their conditions 8.3 Need satisfaction of first- and second-generation migrants 8.4 Five underlying mechanisms of ethnic identification 8.5 Explaining migrants’ ethnic identity 9 Summary III DATA 10 The German National Educational Panel Study (NEPS) 10.1 Starting cohort (SC) 6 10.2 The sample IV EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATION 11 A short note on multinomial logistic regression analysis 12 Analysis 1: Status and ethnic identity: The role of generation status and migrant recognisability 12.1 An intergenerational perspective on status and ethnic identity 12.2 The role of migrant recognisability 12.3 Model specification and analytical strategy 12.4 Findings 12.5 Discussion 13 Analysis 2: Status mismatch and ethnic identity 13.1 Theoretical considerations and expectations 13.2 Model specification and analytical strategy 13.3 Findings 13.4 Discussion 14 Analysis 3: Exposure time, ethnic identity and the role of status 14.1 An intergenerational perspective on exposure time and ethnic identity 14.2 Cumulative (dis)advantages?

Sterling Publishers Pvt.Ltd Populations of the SAARC Countries: Bio-cultural
Book SynopsisThe South Asian Association for Regional Co-operation (SAARC) encompasses seven countries of a large landmass containing one-fifth of the total global population. After the formation of SAARC in August 1980, several publications have been brought out by many organisations, which by and large deal with issues like economy, politics, administration and so on. This book comprises three articles, besides an introductory note by the editors and an epilogue on the important issues related to the bio-cultural relations-is the first of its kind. The book discusses, in depth, the biological and cultural affinities/linkages of the populations of these countries. While the biological affinities of the populations in respect of these countries have been traced back from the pre-historic to the contemporary period, the cultural linkages, with special reference to trade, religion, art, architecture and so on have been documented from the ancient to the medieval historical period of the region.

University Press of Southern Denmark Population Data at a Glance: Shaded Contour Maps
Book SynopsisBook & Disk. This volume is an array of demographic data which can often be pictured in an intelligible and graphically striking way by a shaded contour map. The data might pertain to population levels or to rates of fertility, marriage, divorce, migration, morbidity, or mortality. Most often the data are structured by age and time (eg: age-specific death rates over time). Shaded contour maps permit visualisation of such demographic surfaces and offer a panoramic view impossible to obtain from the usual graphs of levels or rates at selected ages over time or a selected times over age. Contour maps are particularly effective in highlighting patterns in the interaction of age, period, and cohort effects. This monograph presents a bouquet of shaded contour maps to suggest the broad potential of their use in population studies. The value of such maps lies in their substantive import. Graphic designs, E R Tufte concluded, should give visual access to the subtle and difficult, that is, the revelation of the complex. Demographic surfaces can be particularly complex. A mortality surface, for example, might be defined over a century of age and a century of time, comprising 10,000 date points that may vary over four orders of magnitude. Shaded contour maps are an arresting, efficient, and clear means of giving demographers visual access to such data. William Playfair, the pioneer of graphic methods for presenting statistical data, argued that with a good visual display as much information may be obtained in five minutes as would require whole days to imprint on the memory, in a lasting manner, by a table of figures. The 100 shaded contour maps in this monograph summarise more than a half million data points in a memorable, revealing manner.

University Press of Southern Denmark Childhood & Old Age: Equals or Opposites?
Book SynopsisWho hasn''t heard of elderly people in their second childhood -- or of children who grow old before their time? Expressions such as these bear witness to the fact that a variety of images and expectations attach themselves to biological age. When various ages are set side by side in contrast to each other, these images and expectations become apparent. Childhood and old Age lies at opposite ends of life''s trajectory and so are quite distinct. The child finds itself at life''s starting-point, the old person at its close. And yet there are in many areas more similarities than differences. Both children and old people live an institutionalised, economically unproductive and sheltered life and, in our late modern society, are completely dependent on middle-aged adults. Both age groups are objects of commercial, medical-scientific and pedagogical interest. The aim of this anthology is to confront expectations of childhood with expectations of old age. The focus is not, then, on age as a biological phenomenon, but on preconceptions of age and on the ways in which man, at different times and in different cultures, has dealt with age. The articles view their subject from both historical and contemporary standpoints, and there is an attempt to answer questions about age in the society of the future, where biological lifespans will be challenged by gene technology and improved living conditions.

University Press of Southern Denmark Evolution of the Danish Population from 1835 to
Book SynopsisBook & CD-ROM. International comparisons of mortality aimed at revealing age-specific and time-specific differences in survival between Denmark and nine developed countries have been carried out by estimating surfaces of ratios of death rates in the last decades. To gain deeper insights into this phenomenon comparative analyses of death rates by causes of death for Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, and Japan have been performed. The book is accompanied by a CD-ROM including colour Lexis maps, graphs of trends in death rates by causes of death, animated graphs of common survival indicators and a Lexis program for producing Lexis maps.

Brill Chinese Research Perspectives on Population and
Book SynopsisThis translated volume is based on the Green Book of Population and Labor (No. 19) originally published in Chinese. The six chapters offer a panoramic view of China’s demographic evolution since reform and opening-up. Chapter one presents an overview of macroscopic trends in the size, structure, health, education level and spatial distribution of the Chinese population. Chapters two and three look closely at changes in employment and income. Chapter four focuses on rural industrialization, urbanization and their demographic implications. In chapter five, the contributor considers what Didi the ride-hailing App says about new employment models. The final chapter examines the development of non-standard employment and its impact on labor relations. Chapters two to six also include policy suggestions.Table of ContentsList of Figures and Tables 1 China’s Population Development in Forty Years (1978–2018) Li Jianmin 2 Retrospect and Prospect of China’s Employment Development in the 40 Years of Reform and Opening-Up Cheng Jie 3 Retrospect and Prospect of China’s Reforms on Wages and Income Distribution Zhang Juwei and Zhao Wen 4 China’s Rural Industrialization and Urbanization: 40 Years of Urban and Rural Labor Transfer Xiang Jing 5 Research on the Employment Quality of China’s New Employment Model: Taking the Didi Taxi Platform as an Example Zhang Chenggang 6 The Development of Non-Standard Employment in China and Its Impact on Labor Relations Wang Yongjie Index

Brill Demography of a Shtetl. The Case of Piotrków
Book SynopsisThis quantitative study of Piotrków Trybunalski traces the evolution of the population in the typical early modern semi-agrarian town in which the majority of activity was concentrated in the Jewish suburbs into a provincial capital in Congress Poland. Through the use of longitudinal aggregations and family reconstruction it explores fertility, mortality, and marriage patterns from the early nineteenth century, when civil records were introduced, until the Holocaust, revealing key differences as well as striking similarities between local Jews and non-Jews. The example of Piotrków set in a broader European context highlights variations in the pre-transitional demography of Ashkenazi Jewry and lack of universal model describing the “traditional” or “eastern European” Jewish family.Table of ContentsNote on Place Names and Their Transliteration Acknowledgements List of Figures and Tables Abbreviations Introduction 1 Quality of Vital Registration 1 Legal and Ideological Context 2 Sex Ratio at Birth as a Quality Measure 3 Regional Perspective 4 Local Perspective 5 Additional Indicators of Registration Quality 6 Causes of Under-Registration 7 Vital Registration in Piotrków Trybunalski 8 Conclusions 2 The Jewish Town of Piotrków 1 What Is a Shtetl? 2 The Twin-Town 3 Economic Conditions 4 Social Inequalities 5 Naming Patterns and Social Attitudes 6 Population Dynamics 7 Conclusions 3 Marriage and Household Formation 1 Quality of Marriage Registration 2 Age at Marriage 3 Permanent Celibacy 4 Marriage and Socio-Economy 5 Remarriage 6 Divorce 7 Household Formation 8 Endogamy and Social Networks 9 Conclusions 4 Births and Fertility 1 Marital Fertility 2 Premarital Conceptions and First Birth Interval 3 Birth Intervals and Spacing 4 Nonmarital Births 5 Conclusions 5 Deaths and Mortality 1 Infant and Child Mortality 2 Distribution of Age at Death 3 Breastfeeding, Mortality and Natural Increase 4 Maternal Mortality 5 Causes of Death 6 Local Health Care 7 Conclusions Conclusions Bibliography Archival Primary Sources Printed Primary Sources Data Sources for Figures 3–7 Secondary Sources

European Interuniversity Press Album Belgique
Book SynopsisAvec trois langues nationales et une division entre Régions flamande, wallonne et bruxelloise, un système fédéral complexe pour un pays de 30 530 km2 où ne s'est jouée qu'en partie l'histoire de ses origines, la Belgique est un véritable berceau culturel européen qui résiste aux identifications aisées. Ce volume restitue l'extraordinaire fécondité culturelle du pays, fondée sur l'enchevêtrement de multiples racines en se focalisant sur tel ou tel de ses aspects. Des images donc de la Belgique. Des instantanés qui n'excluent pas une optique panoramique. L'histoire et la société, la littérature francophone, la BD ou la chanson, le cinéma et le sport voisinent ainsi avec des essais sur Bruxelles, l'Art Nouveau, la Nouvelle Musique, la Gastronomie ou la Théorie de la relativité. Comme avec des portraits : ceux de Juste Lipse, Maurice Maeterlinck ou Girolamo Santocono. Un Album où le lecteur trouvera des surprises. Qui se souvient par exemple que des textes occupant dans l'histoire de la littérature française un statut fondateur, comme La Cantilène de Sainte Eulalie ou Aucassin et Nicolette, ont été rédigés l'un dans la partie du Hainaut devenue française seulement après la conquête de Louis XIV, et l'autre aux confins de cette région ? Que des physiciens belges (Théophile de Donder en particulier) ont joué un rôle essentiel dans le développement et la diffusion de la théorie de la relativité ou de celle du Big Bang ? Que le Belge Robertson fut l'inventeur du phantascope , le précurseur du cinéma ? Qu'une Belge fut au nombre des participantes aux jeux Olympiques la première fois que la natation féminine y fut admise ? Née à l'occasion de la création d'une bibliothèque belge offerte par les Archives & Musée de la littérature de Bruxelles à l'Université italienne de Salerne, cette mosaïque d'études a été composée par des chercheurs de cette Université spécialistes dans différentes disciplines et se termine par un entretien télévisé sur le rôle européen de la Belgique, siège du Conseil de l'Europe. La Belgique : une histoire et un espace culturel dont on ne dira jamais assez la singularité !

United Nations World population prospects: highlights, Key
Book SynopsisThe United Nations population estimates and projections form a comprehensive set of demographic data to assess population trends at the global, regional and national levels. They are used in the calculation of many of the key development indicators commonly used by the United Nations system, including for more than one third of the indicators used to monitor progress towards the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. The 2019 revision of the World Population Prospects is the twenty-sixth edition of the official United Nations population estimates and projections, which have been prepared since 1951 by the Population Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs. The 2019 revision presents population estimates from 1950 until the present for 235 countries or areas, which have been developed through country-specific analyses of historical demographic trends. It builds on previous revisions by incorporating additional results from the 2010 and 2020 rounds of national population censuses as well as information from vital registration and recent nationally representative household sample surveys. The 2019 revision also presents population projections to the year 2100 that reflect a range of plausible outcomes at the global, regional and country levels. These Highlights summarise key population trends described by the estimates and projections presented in World Population Prospects 2019.
