Could Pronatalist Policies Discourage Childbearing
This article builds on research in psychology, economics, and other fields, suggesting that, under certain conditions, extrinsic incentives could undermine intrinsic motivation, producing results opposite to those originally intended. It explores the relevance of these findings for population policies and particularly for pronatalist measures, and argues that reproductive behavior is intrinsically motivated, thus potentially subject to having the…
The Ethnic Composition of Families in Russia in 1989: "Insights into the Soviet "Nationalities Policy
A sample from the 1989 Soviet census is used to study the ethnic composition of families in the Russian Federation on the eve of the breakup of the Soviet Union. The aim is to gain insight into the consequences of the Soviet "nationalities policy" through examining the marriage patterns of different ethnic groups and the nature of the relations between these groups. The analysis is based on general log-linear models. The main findings are: there …

The Story of a 'Maverick: Bulgaria's Fertility Decline
Analysis of the fertility decline in Bulgaria shows that the perception of Bulgaria as an 'anomaly'in terms of its demographic development is based on a conservative interpretation of the demographic transition theory. The features that distinguish Bulgaria from the western European countries (faster decline, persistence of early and universal marriages, etc.) are generally accounted for by the specific social, economic, cultural, and political c…

Where East Meets West: Ethnic Intermarriage in the Former Yugoslavia, 1962 to 1989
I examine ethnic intermarriage in the former Yugoslavia to determine the prevalence of exogamy there and if exogamy has increased since World War II....Using marriage registration data I apply log-linear models to distinguish the effects of changes in the marginal distribution of spouses traits from patterns that reflect the association between these traits. The results show that the widespread perception that intermarriage occurred frequently is…
Nuptiality in the Course of the Demographic Transition: The Experience of the Balkan Countries
The paper examines marriage patterns in four Balkan countries during the course of the demographic transition. It is shown by analysis of the available data that cultural and institutional factors, such as family type, kinship structure or religious doctrines, alone, cannot explain adequately all the features of nuptiality in the region. Without denying the importance of the 'cultural-institutional' approach, it was found necessary to expand it b…
