  • Beyond Economics and Culture

    Open AccessNathalie Sawadogo, Hervé Bassinga et al.ARTICLEPopulation and Development Review2024Referencias: 37

    Theories of contraception and fertility are currently dominated by economic and cultural arguments. A demographic perspective can usefully expand these theories through "addition," "explication," and "reconciliation." The addition is about drawing attention to salient demographic forces that have previously been underconsidered whether these forces operate at the macro, meso, or microlevels. Explication is about adding explanatory flesh to proxim…

  • The Political Economy of Contemporary Youth in Cameroon

    Parfait M Eloundou‐enyegue, Parfait Eloundou-Enyegue et al.CHAPTEROxford Handbook of the Economy of…2023

    This paper is a conjecture on Cameroon's socioeconomic prospects and trajectory between now (2020) and the mid-point of this century. Gazing into the future is a necessary chore. Any scientist venturing outside the Ivory tower will invariably be invited to join policy efforts to plan the future or, at least, to debate possible scenarios and steer societies away from the least desirable outcomes. While these policy efforts initially sought to plan…

  • African Transitions and Fertility Inequality

    Open AccessParfait Eloundou‐enyegue, Parfait M Eloundou‐enyegue et al.ARTICLEPopulation and Development Review2017Citada por: 12Referencias: 35

    Is Africa is different?” The question permeates the debate over Africa's fertility transitions, whether analysts ponder the causes, the consequences, or the socioeconomic patterns of these transitions. Do Africa's transitions occur at a lower threshold of economic development compared to, say, Latin American countries (Bongaarts and Casterline 2013; Bongaarts, this volume)? Will they yield a demographic dividend, as was the case among the Asian T…

  • Fertility Transitions and Schooling

    Open AccessParfait M Eloundou-Enyegue, Parfait M Eloundou‐enyegue et al.ARTICLEDemography2012Citada por: 2Referencias: 28

    Research on the schooling implications of fertility transitions often faces an aggregation problem: despite policy interest in macro-level outcomes, empirical studies usually focus on the micro-level effects of sibsize on schooling. This article proposes an aggregation framework for moving from micro- to macro-level associations between fertility and schooling. The proposed framework is an improvement over previous aggregation methods in that it …

  • Reproductive Inequality in Sub‐Saharan Africa

    Open AccessSarah C Giroux, Parfait M Eloundou‐enyegue et al.ARTICLEStudies in Family Planning2008Citada por: 1Referencias: 19

    Within developing countries, our understanding of reproductive inequality—how fertility is distributed within a population—has been shaped largely by studies of fertility differentials, a practical but partial‐information measure. In this study, we examine whether exclusive reliance on differentials biases this understanding, Findings based on recent data from sub‐Saharan Africa show bias. We find that historical and especially cross‐country comp…

  • Rural Parentage and Labor Market Disadvantage in a Sub-Saharan Setting

    Open AccessSarah C GirouxARTICLERural Sociology2008Referencias: 32

    High unemployment in many developing countries is intensifying job competition and raising concern for the employment prospects of vulnerable groups, including children of rural parents. This paper examines the trends and sources in employment disadvantage associated with rural parentage in Cameroon. In documenting the sources of inequality, the study moves beyond a 'consensus versus conflict' dichotomy, and instead uses regression decomposition …
