Delayed Reproduction: Patterns, Challenges and Prospects
The Vienna Yearbook of Population Research is seeking submissions for a Special Issue “Delayed Reproduction: Patterns, Challenges and Prospects” guest edited by Eva Beaujouan, Marie-Caroline Compans, Alice Goisis, and Jasmin Passet-Wittig.
We invite contributions on the following themes:
- Changing reproductive trajectories: Delayed family and fertility trajectories, partnership context of childbearing, experiences of infertility.
- Adapting to the new timing of parenthood:Fertility plans in the context of delayed fertility, intentions and their (non-)realisation at higher reproductive ages.
- Age limits to fertility? Biological limits and constraints to late reproduction, contribution of medically assisted reproduction to late fertility, potential and limits for the future.
- Social inequalities: Socio-economic disparities in late fertility, including access to and use of assisted reproduction – this covers education, religion, attitudes, cultural background…
- Societal consequences: Impact of delayed reproduction on childlessness and family size, changing norms around reproduction and parenthood at later ages.
- Consequences for parents and children:Reproductive health problems at older ages other than infertility, consequences for children born of older parents.
- Policy responses: Evaluation of existing policies, policies needed to address shifts to later reproduction.
This special issue invites original unpublished contributions on the topic of population inequality. Empirical and theoretical papers as well as papers studying geographic and spatial differences are welcome. We welcome different types of submissions including Research articles, Review articles, Perspectives and shorter Data & Trends contributions.
Manuscript submission (full papers only) is now open. All submissions will be subject to external double-blind peer review.
