Více o knize

Examining the impact of institutional diversity on demographic trends, this work analyzes fertility, suicide, and homicide rates across eighteen high-income nations. It highlights how differing public policies, such as universal benefits in Europe versus the U.S. approach, influence childbearing among working women and affect suicide and homicide rates. By integrating political sociology, stratification, and gender studies, the book underscores the interplay between public policy and demographic changes, revealing their mutual influence on societal outcomes.
