Studying the seasonality of conceptions among five distinct population subgroups in mainland Greece
The paper studies seasonality of conceptions among five distinct population subgroups of mainland Greece for the period 1951-2002. The populations explored include those residing in Metsovo, Dion, Organi, Kehros, as well as a “General” Sample consisting of persons located in various areas of continental Greece. The populations under investigation present diverse characteristics regarding religion, cultural background, socio-economic status etc. R…
Socioeconomic inequality and stillbirth rate disparities among native and foreign mothers
Quantifying self-rated age
Chronological age, in conjunction with population life tables, is widely used for estimating future life expectancy. The aims of this study are to estimate a subjective ageing indicator, namely self-rated age, and to evaluate its concurrent validity in comparison with other age indicators: subjective survival probabilities, subjective age, and biological age. We use data from the Wave 6 of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe, Wa…
Decomposing the effects of childhood adversity on later-life depression among Europeans
The aims of the present study are twofold: first, to examine the importance of socio-economic disadvantage, adverse experiences and poor health in childhood on later-life depression by sex and, second, to discern the direct and indirect effects of childhood circumstances using a decomposition technique. Data are derived from Waves 2 and 3 of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE). The methods involve use of logistic regress…
The impact of wealth and income on the depression of older adults across European welfare regimes
This paper examines the impact of wealth and income on the likelihood of depression among persons aged 50 or higher in four European regions characterised by differences in the standards of living and welfare systems. To address possible effects, data from Wave 6 of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) have been used. Based on a sample of 60,864 persons resident in 16 European countries and a binary indicator of depressio…
Factors incorporated into future survival estimation among Europeans
Subjective survival probabilities are affected by individual-specific judgment and vary by factors known to differentiate actual mortality
Évaluer la contribution des femmes étrangères à la fécondité du moment en Grèce, 2004-2012
L'objectif de l'étude est d'évaluer la contribution de la fécondité des femmes étrangères à la fécondité générale à partir du cas grec entre 2004 et 2012. Plus précisément, il s'agit d'estimer la contribution respective du comportement de fécondité des femmes étrangères et de leur part dans chaque groupe d'âges de la population féminine, à la fécondité de la Grèce. Les taux de fécondité par âge et les indices conjoncturels de fécondité (ICF) sont…
Estimating Mortality Levels and Patterns among Natives, Immigrants, and Selected Ethnic Groups in Greece
This study addresses for the first time in Greece the issue of levels and patterns of mortality among natives and immigrants, using vital statistics and census data by citizenship. Life tables are constructed for the two most numerous communities, Albanians and Bulgarians as well as for all immigrant populations combined; standardized mortality ratios are estimated for smaller migrant groups. Albanian males have a slight mortality advantage compa…
Disability trends among older adults in ten European countries over 2004–2013, using various indicators and Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) data
In the context of the prospective increase in the numbers of older adults in Europe and of conflicting findings regarding recent disability trends, the present study uses cross-sectional data from four waves of the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), covering the period 2004–2013, and aims at the assessment of trends in disability by sex and broad age group (50–64 and 65 and over) for the ten countries participating in all …
Mortality by Cause of Death Among Immigrants and Natives in a South European Country
Migrant and non-migrant fertility in Greece
This paper examines fertility patterns and differentials between migrant and non-migrant women in Greece using data from the 2001 census on the reported numbers of children ever-born alive by citizenship. Special tabulations produced by the National Statistical Service of Greece are analysed and presented here. The analysis focuses on Greek, Albanian and Bulgarian women born over 1950-1970. Noticeable differences are observed. Despite the fact th…
Modelling the Effects of Maternal Socio-Demographic Characteristics on the Preterm and Term Birth Weight Distributions in Greece Using Quantile Regression
The present study aims at modelling the effects of maternal socio-demographic characteristics on the birth weight distribution in Greece. The analysis is based on nationwide vital registration micro-data; 103,266 single live births recorded in 2006 are considered. Quantile regression models, allowing for the effects of covariates to vary across the conditional distribution of the dependent variable, birth weight, are applied to preterm and term b…
Estimating Spatial Differentials in Life Expectancy in Greece at Local Authority Level
The aims of this paper are to estimate, for the first time for Greece, life expectancy at birth by gender at local authority level and to explore spatial patterns. The data used in the analysis come from the vital registration system of Greece and the 2001 population census. For areas with male/female population 5,000 or more, representing 97% of the total, abridged life tables are constructed by employing the Chiang methodology. For local areas …
Regional mortality differentials in Greece by selected causes of death
Deaths due to neoplasms and diseases of the circulatory and the respiratory system represent 80% of all deaths in Greece. In the context of dearth of statistical analysis of spatial patterns of cause-specific mortality in Greece, this paper aims at studying the distribution and structure of appropriate mortality measures for the above mentioned causes of death at prefecture level. To achieve this, official statistics on deaths (2006-2008) and pop…
Demographic and Socioeconomic Determinants of Low Birth Weight and Preterm Births Among Natives and Immigrants in Greece
The present study makes use of nationwide individual-level vital registration data on the single live births occurring in Greece in 2006 to explore associations of socio-demographic factors with adverse pregnancy outcomes, using multinomial logistic regression models. The findings indicate that important risk factors associated with low birth weight preterm and intra-uterine growth retarded births (IUGR) include female sex, primiparity, age of mo…
Life expectancy in Greece 1991–2007
Please click here to download the map associated with this article. In the absence of regional estimates of life-longevity for Greece, we have constructed abridged life tables by sex for the 51 prefectures of the country for 1991, 2001 and 2007, using the Reference to a Standard Table technique. The paper focuses on regional variations and spatial patterns of life expectancy at birth. This is the first time that such demographic information is pr…
Differentials in Sex Ratio at Birth Among Natives and Immigrants in Greece
This study uses micro-level information on the live births registered in Greece for 2006 to assess differentials in the propensity to have a male offspring between natives and immigrants. The sex ratio at birth for the whole population is 106.3 but it is considerably higher among immigrants (110.9) than among natives (105.4). Relatively high sex ratios at birth are observed for several migrant groups; differentials between natives, on the one han…
Socio-economic inequalities in physical functioning
The associations between socio-economic position (SEP) and physical functioning have frequently been investigated but little is known about which measures of SEP are the best to use for older people. This study examined how different SEP indicators related to the physical functioning of men aged 50 or more years in England and Greece. The data derived from Wave 1 of the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing (ELSA) and from the Survey of Health, Ag…
Net migration estimates for Greece by age, sex and citizenship, 1991-2001
This paper applies techniques of demographic analysis to official data of Greece to obtain net migration estimates by age, sex and citizenship for the intercensal period 1991-2001. It is found that the overall net immigration rate for the decade is 6.3 per 100 resident population and the contribution of foreign immigrants to this figure is 88.2 per cent. 85.4 % of the net immigrants are of working age and 70.3 % of net immigrant women are of repr…
