Abstract:
This two-volume work explores social cohesion and the demographic challenges of low birth rates and population aging. The authors approach the topic from the perspective of citizens and key policy actors, analyzing attitudes from 14 European countries regarding the European integration process, demographic trends, and expectations towards private networks and public policies. Volume 2 focuses on demographic developments, gender issues, and aging.
Abstract:
The content of the two volumes with the title "People, Population Change and Policies: Lessons from the Population Policy Acceptance Study" is based on the DIALOG project, an international comparative analysis of PPA survey data collected in the participating countries. The DIALOG project was funded by the European Commission for three years (2003 – 2005). A co-ordinated, but nationally financed PPA survey had been conducted in 14 European countries: Austria, Belgium (Flanders), Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania and Slovenia. The second data source is a Policy-Delphi study, which follows a qualitative approach – in addition to the countries mentioned above also Switzerland participated. In these two volumes for the first time the data from the DIALOG project will be systematically and scientifically analysed. The research questions can be allocated to specific issues, as they are reflected in the modular conception of the DIALOG project. These issues also structure the two volumes.
