Scope & Guideline
Unveiling the complexities of migration and socio-economic factors.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Population Ageing:
Research on demographic ageing, including indicators and trends, particularly in Central European contexts such as Czechia and Slovakia. - Family and Household Dynamics:
Studies exploring familial structures, marriage, cohabitation, and parenting, reflecting changing societal norms and policies. - Migration Patterns:
Analysis of internal and external migration trends, focusing on integration issues and the socio-economic impacts of migration. - Health and Mortality:
Investigations into health outcomes, mortality rates, and the socio-economic factors influencing these dynamics. - Statistical Methods in Demography:
Utilization of advanced statistical techniques and administrative data sources to analyze demographic phenomena and improve census methodologies.
Trending and Emerging
- Impact of COVID-19 on Demography:
Research focusing on how the pandemic has influenced fertility rates, family dynamics, and health outcomes, highlighting the need for adaptive demographic analyses. - Socioeconomic Factors and Health:
An increasing focus on how socioeconomic status affects health outcomes, particularly among vulnerable populations, is gaining traction in recent studies. - Integration of Immigrant Populations:
Emerging studies on the integration of ethnic and immigrant communities are becoming prominent, reflecting contemporary demographic challenges and policies. - Technological Advances in Data Collection:
The incorporation of new technologies and methods for data collection and analysis, especially in the context of the census and demographic surveys, is trending.
Declining or Waning
- Historical Demography:
There has been a noticeable decrease in papers focusing on historical demographic events, as contemporary issues take precedence in research agendas. - Cross-National Comparisons:
Research comparing demographic trends across multiple countries has waned, possibly due to a more localized focus on national and regional studies. - Theoretical Demographic Models:
The use of purely theoretical models without empirical data appears to be less common, as researchers increasingly favor data-driven approaches.
