In the past, many women had their children when they were young, whereas nowadays the trend is to have children at an older age. This book provides insight into the changes in tempo and quantum of post-war fertility among birth cohorts in a number of European countries. Based on an advanced demographic-analytic approach, it demonstrates how age and parity distributions have changed between successive cohorts and the effects of these changes on period fertility. How cohort life course patterns have changed varies between countries because of country-specific characteristics, opportunities and constraints. (Thela Thesis)

Develop a Deep Understanding of the Statistical Issues of APC AnalysisAge-Period-Cohort Models: Approaches and Analyses with Aggregate Data presents an introduction to the problems and strategies for modeling age, period, and cohort (APC) effects for aggregate-level data. These strategies include constrained estimation, the use of age and/or period and/or cohort characteristics, estimable functions, variance decomposition, and a new technique called the s-constraint approach.

This textbook explores group communication dynamics with the group that most students are already familiar with, peer groups. The book brings alive many existing group theories, while showcasing under-utilized theories that usefully explain the processes of the groups in which people spend most of their time.

This report examines how economic development has affected the life-cycle wage and employment histories of various cohorts of Malaysian male workers. The report contains four sections. Section I briefly sketches the structure of the Malaysian economy and highlights the main changes that have occurred since World War II. Section II describes the Malaysian Family Life Survey, the data file on which this research is based. These data are unique in providing the first detailed portrait of career and cohort evolutions of wages and employment for a less developed country that is undergoing substantial economic growth. Because there is so little hard evidence on labor markets in less developed countries, Sec. III presents a descriptive summary of the principal characteristics of the Malaysian labor market. Finally, Sec. IV presents a statistical analysis of individual wages, with an emphasis on trying to sort out determinants of life-cycle and across-cohort wage growth.

Since the end of the Second World War, society has been characterised by rapid and extensive political, economic, scientific, and technological change. Opportunities for education, employment, human relations, and good health, have all been greatly affected by those changes, as have all aspects of life. Consequently, each post-war generation has been like no other before or since.Britain, uniquely, has five large-scale life course studies that began at intervals throughout that period. They have shown how lives are shaped by individual characteristics, their past and current experien
