Evidence of Decreasing Prenatal Sex-Selection Practice in a Context of Liberal Abortion Rights
The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s11113-025-09974-y
Neurobehavioral Mechanisms Influencing the Association Between Generativity, the Desire to Promote Well-Being of Younger Generations, and Purpose in Life in Older Adults at Risk for Alzheimer’s Diseas…
These findings provide insight into how the brain supports complex social behavior and, separately, purpose in life in at-risk aging. Affectionate social support may be a putative target process to enhance purpose in life in older adults. This knowledge contributes to future developments of personalized interventions that promote healthy aging

Reflections on the implications of Equity Release to self-fund ageing in Britain
Le vieillissement de la population pèse sur les finances publiques et est devenu au problème de plus en plus urgent pour de nombreuses sociétés. Dans le climat politique actuel d’austérité, de rétraction de l’État-providence et de commercialisation des soins, l’autofinancement des coûts du vieillissement mobilisant le patrimoine immobilier des retraités peut sembler une option attrayante aux décideurs politiques. Les produits financiers du type ‘…
Re-visioning evidence
Reports in the British media over the last 4 years have highlighted the schisms and contestations that have accompanied the reports of gender selective abortions amongst British Asian families. The position that sex-selection may be within the terms of the 1967 Abortion Act has particularly sparked controversy amongst abortion campaigners and politicians but equally among medical practitioners and the British Pregnancy Advisory Service who have h…
Immigration to the UK from High-Fertility Countries
The fertility of immigrants' children increasingly shapes the ethnic diversity of the population in Western Europe. However, few data are available on the fertility patterns of immigrants and their offspring. This article provides new fertility estimates of immigrants and immigrants' children by ethnic group in the United Kingdom that may provide better-informed fertility assumptions for future population projection models. The impact of migratio…
The fertility of ethnic minorities in the UK, 1960s-2006
This paper presents estimates of the level and trend of the fertility of different ethnic minorities in the UK from the 1960s up to 2006. The fertility estimates are derived primarily from the Labour Force Survey using the Own-Child method, with additional information from the General Household Survey and vital registration data. Comparisons are made between the level of fertility of UK-born and immigrant mothers from minority groups, and the fer…
Application of the Own-Children Method for estimating fertility by ethnic and religious groups in the UK
An Increase in the Sex Ratio of Births to India-born Mothers in England and Wales
Male preference in many Asian cultures results in discriminatory practices against females, including neglect and infanticide. This preference, together with the availability of prenatal sex determination and sex-selective abortion, has led to an increase in sex ratios at birth in China, India, and South Korea. The resulting expected gender imbalances raise ethical, demographic, and social concerns. We analyzed birth statistics to see whether sim…
Dynamisme rural
Si une certaine revitalisation des zones rurales se confirme, après plus d’un siècle d’exode, elle semble toujours exclure de vastes espaces peu peuplés et éloignés des grandes villes. Le maintien du peuplement dans ces zones « fragiles » est l’enjeu des politiques de développement. L’Aveyron et la Lozère, situés au sud du Massif central, dans la diagonale du vide, constituent un terrain d’étude privilégié pour cette question. On a élaboré une me…
