| dc.description | Why does this book propose new research perspectives on population and development issues? Although the analysis, strictly speaking, of population dynamics lies at the heart of classical demography, an increasing number of specialists are shifting towards population studies when seeking to interpret behaviours relating to fertility, nuptiality, mortality and migrations. This opening up is all the more necessary when dealing with themes of population and development, health and reproduction, poverty and gender, which go well beyond the sole issue of demographic dynamics, as they also involve economics, sociology, culture and policies. The theory of demographic transition cannot therefore constitute the only reference, thereby making it necessary to look to another theory, better adapted to the approach in terms of population studies1 . Entire swathes of research falling within the paradigm of population and development have been built in complete independence of the theory of demographic transition, although they had been directly linked to one of its two central variables, birthrate. This is the case of reproductive health: research performed in this field has never been effectively problematised in terms of demographic transition, despite assertions that they are encompassed by this theoretical framework. | - |
