Important drivers of population structure such as life expectancy and fertility rates are becoming more similar across countries as are marriage and divorce rates. Increased educational attainment has contributed to greater female employment participation and convergence therein across countries. Child well-being outcomes show a more mixed pattern with improvements and convergence in infant mortality, but varying trends in child poverty across countries.PPN: PPN: 794106331Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-13-SOC | ZDB-13-SOC-ebookDieser Titel hat keine Exemplare
