Provides readers theoretical perspectives (both macro and micro), data, methods and research findings that would help readers better understand the complexities within population-environment connections.
Using survey data were collected from 657 married women between April and July 2018, the study investigates whether fertility decline was significantly higher in neighborhoods containing known Zika cases, compared to unexposed neighborhoods in the city state of Singapore.
The study examines the effects of exposure to historically abnormal rainfall among children in utero on the cognitive development of the same children from 5 to 15 years of age using data from the Young Lives project for Vietnam.
The article “looks back” to the origins of environmental demography, identifying pivotal agenda-setting moments in the 1990s and tracing the impact on contemporary research. Then, it also “looks forward” to identify critical gaps and challenges that remain to be addressed and to set an agenda for future research on population responses to environmental change.
The popresearchcenters.org website, maintained by PRB’s Center for Public Information on Population Research (CPIPR), explains and publicizes the findings of research from the Population Dynamics Research Centers. Funding is provided by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD).
Followng the results from the 2020 population censuses for the United States and China showing slowdown in population growth, the authors argue that the slowdown in population growth signals successes and benefits for America, China, and the Earth.
The purpose of this study was to explore how climate change-related concerns affect reproductive attitudes and motivations to remain childfree.
The Atlas of Demography is a new interactive knowledge management tool that enables policy-makers and citizens to observe, monitor and anticipate demographic challenges. It aims at informing several policy areas - such as health, labour, education, access to services and amenities, territorial and cohesion policies, to name a few - with timely, robust, comparable demographic data and knowledge at the finest level of geographical detail (down to the level of a single municipality).
This article “looks back” to the origins of the developments on research on demographic responses to changes in the natural environment over the past two decades, identifying pivotal agenda-setting moments in the 1990s and tracing the impact on contemporary research.
The authors outline the key extensions of the National Research Council's People and Pixels foundation since 1998. The article highlight several breakthroughs in research on human–environment interactions. It also identify pressing research problems—disaster, famine, drought, war, poverty, climate change—and explore how interdisciplinary approaches integrating people and pixels are being used to address them.
