Bringing cause-of-death analysis into demography: An interview with France Meslé
BACKGROUNDCause-of-death analysis is an important part of demographic research nowadays, but this has not always been the case.These analyses were introduced to the discipline in the 1980s, which eventually led to the development of the health transition framework.One of the pioneers of this work was France Mesl. OBJECTIVEWe interviewed France Mesl to better understand the history of cause-of-death analysis and how the health transition framework…

The war in Ukraine as an event reconfiguring Belarusian diasporic organizations
À la veille de l’invasion russe de l’Ukraine en 2022, la diaspora biélorusse disposait de structures organisationnelles relativement efficaces et de l’expérience nécessaire pour accueillir et assister les personnes déplacées. Cependant, une condition nécessaire pour que les Biélorusses se joignent à l’effort d’aide à l’Ukraine était de surmonter la réticence des militants ukrainiens, qui les identifiaient au régime de Loukachenko impliqué dans la…
The distortion of fertility due to migration: A comparative analysis of migrants in the Netherlands and stayers in Poland
BACKGROUNDSeveral studies have shown that migrants from Central and Eastern Europe to Western Europe experience an increase in fertility after migration.The literature on migrants' childbearing patterns offers several explanations for this phenomenon. OBJECTIVEThis study examines the childbearing of Polish women who migrated to the Netherlands, comparing their fertility to that of non-mobile Polish women.. METHODUsing the Families of Poles in the…
Alcohol‐related mortality in four European countries: A multiple‐cause‐of‐death study
Emigration From Post-Communist Central Europe After 1989 Interpreted Within the Aspirations/Capabilities Framework
In the period of post-communist transition, Central Europe witnessed complex and multifaceted mobility processes; permanent outmigration, of an ethnic or labour-related nature, coexisted with temporary, seasonal, or cross-border movements and an increasing influx of foreigners. To study these complex processes, we have chosen to apply a holistic and comprehensive approach, rather than limit conceptual considerations to one theory of migration det…
Childlessness, geographical proximity and non-family support in 12 European countries
The number of relatives and geographical proximity between them affects informal support provided to older persons. In this study, we investigate whether (a) childless persons and parents living remotely from their adult children experience similar shortages in informal support, and (b) whether neighbours, friends and other non-family helpers compensate for these shortages. On the basis of Survey on Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE)…
Using multiple cause of death information to eliminate garbage codes
International comparisons of mortality largely depend on the quality of data. With more than 20% of deaths annually assigned to ill-defined cardiovascular conditions, the mortality level due to well-defined causes of death is under-registered in Poland
Financial and non-financial private transfers from close ones: Beyond family and kinship
Internally defined ties such as friendship, trust, or closeness might enhance private transfers. The present study examines the role of these ties on top of the impact of genetic relatedness and legal family relations using families with varied access to filial support as a source of heterogeneity. We investigate, in addition to family support, financial and non-financial transfers received from unrelated individuals by mature adults in childless…
The direct and indirect impact of international migration on the population ageing process: A formal analysis and its application to Poland
The significance of mortality and fertility changes to the process of population ageing has been widely recognised in demographic research for many countries. Despite growing territorial mobility, however, the impact of international migration on changes i
Between ‘Pioneers’ of the Cardiovascular Revolution and Its ‘Late Followers’: Mortality Changes in the Czech Republic and Poland Since 1968
After several decades of stagnation, mortality in most Central European countries started to decrease after 1989. The Czech Republic and Poland were the first former Communist countries in this region to experience a rapid and sustained increase in life expectancy. This study focuses on the trends in cause-of-death mortality that have contributed to the recent progress in these two countries. The analysis is based on the cause-of-death time serie…
The Recent Mortality Decline in Russia: Beginning of the Cardiovascular Revolution
The health situation in Russia has often been characterized as a long-running crisis. From the 1960s until the beginning of the 2000s, the declining life expectancy trend was substantially interrupted only twice: once in the mid-1980s as a result of Gorbachev's anti-alcohol campaign, and again at the end of the 1990s as a result of the "rebound" effect following the dramatic rise in mortality associated with the acute socioeconomic crisis. In bot…
Labour Market Behaviours of Back‐and‐Forth Migrants From Poland
After the fall of the Iron Curtain, Poland became the main sending country in Central Europe. Despite the lack of institutional barriers to settling in member states of the European Union since 2004, many Polish migrants continued to undertake temporary labour mobility including repetitive, back‐and‐forth moves. This article examines the relationship between migrants' back‐and‐forth international mobility and their activity in the labour market o…
