[Evaluation problems of anti-natalist policies].

"This study is a brief overview of the main problems hindering the measurement of the impact of family planning programmes on fertility. A brief description of several evaluation methods commonly resorted to is presented. A number of theoretical, conceptual and methodological difficulties pertaining to these methods are then scrutinized. Special attention is devoted to various concepts of potential fertility and...their effect on the measurement of the demographic impact of a programme. Likewise, problems encountered in attempts to disentangle the effect of programme factors from the effects of social change on fertility are also examined. The reliability of the results obtained with these methods is affected by these problems, but these results remain, despite some weaknesses, useful approximations of the demographic impact of anti-natalist population policies." The primary geographical focus is on developing countries. (SUMMARY IN ENG)

[Migrants' childrens' academic achievement: the contributions of a mobilization approach].

The academic success of migrants' children in France is explored, with an emphasis on the family characteristics that may determine such an outcome. "How can the surprising academic achievement of a minority of migrants' children who gain admission to university be explained? According to our hypothesis, such an explanation should be found in the families' migration trajectories. Taking them into account allows one to correct the well-known deficient indicator of social origin: father's occupation when in France. Families' strategies and mobilization toward an educational project, part and parcel of their migration project, can thus be explained. This hypothesis has been tested through the interviewing of two [predominantly Algerian] groups of migrants' children of the Lille region, one having experienced school failure, the second having gained admittance to university."

Female employment and fertility: further investigation of an ambivalent association.

"This study of the relationship between female employment and fertility is based on a survey of 1,000 ever-married women in Karachi, [Pakistan]. A distinct pattern of differentials in actual performance and in desired fertility is observed across working and non-working women.... Women in higher status occupations marry much later than and have half the completed family size of those women working in lower status occupations. The fertility of non-working women lies somewhere in between these two groups. Some reasons for the fertility differentials found are identified in variations in point of entry into the labour force relative to the stage in child-bearing, in expectations from sons in old age support, and in relative facility in seeking means of fertility control. Working women in higher status occupations also have better chances of their children surviving, whereas women in lower status occupations suffer a greater toll of child deaths."
