    Les nouveaux modes de planification de la famille en Europe

    No full text
    Les changements qui ont affectĂ© les comportements familiaux et reproducteurs en Europe au cours des 30 derniĂšres annĂ©es sont d’une telle importance que certains observateurs ont parlĂ© d’une “seconde transition dĂ©mographique”. MĂȘme si cette appellation est controversĂ©e, elle a le mĂ©rite de suggĂ©rer qu’une coupure au moins qualitative s’est opĂ©rĂ©e Ă  partir des annĂ©es 60. On ne prĂ©sentera pas ici dans le dĂ©tail l’ensemble des donnĂ©es disponibles sur l’évolution dĂ©mographique dans les divers pays europĂ©ens : des synthĂšses en sont proposĂ©es pĂ©riodiquement, auxquelles le lecteur pourra se reporter utilement (par exemple: Blum et Rallu, 1993; Coleman, 1996; Commission europĂ©enne, 1995; Conseil de l’Europe, 1998; Eurostat, 1997; Monnier, 1998). Retenons seulement quelques chiffres pour illustrer, dans le domaine qui nous intĂ©resse ici, les grandes tendances

    Family behaviours and religious practice in France

    No full text
    Based in our data, in France, 80 % of people aged 18–79 report being Catholic (currently or by birth), 5 % Muslim, 2 % Protestant, 2 % a different religion and 11 % say they have no religion. But this distribution varies considerably by age: the youngest cohorts less often report a religious affiliation, and when they do, they attend religious services less regularly than their elders. Regular attenders, now a small minority, remain more strongly attached to marriage and less often experience several successive unions. They also have more children: among women ever in union born in 1960, regular attenders have 0.6 children more than the others. Women practising a religion other than Catholicism, notably Muslim women, do not account for all of this difference, since regularly practising Catholics have 0.5 more children than the others

    Changing Patterns of Transition to Adulthood

    No full text
    While contemporary sociological and demographic studies seem to confirm the idea that the transition to adulthood is occurring at an increasingly older age in France, they have not yet clearly determined what exactly is involved in this ''passage'' from youth to adulthood. Study of schooling and educational trajectories, family and occupational paths, and analysis of the interactions between them in individual life histories, provides a fresh perspective on transitions to adulthood and the complexity thereof. Completing education, finding a job, moving out of the parental home, entering a union and founding a family\textemdashall these events are interwoven in individual life histories, and sometimes challenge the various generational and social rationales. Are we seeing convergence in the ways men and women reach adulthood? Are today's transition models characterized by greater social diversity than those of the past? This chapter presents an overall picture of the changes in the transition to adulthood that have occurred in France since the generations born in the late 1920s
