Changes in Employment Uncertainty and the Fertility Intention-Realization Link: An Analysis Based on the Swiss Household Panel.
How do changes in employment uncertainty matter for fertility? Empirical studies on the impact of employment uncertainty on reproductive decision-making offer a variety of conclusions, ranging from gender and socio-economic differences in the effect of employment uncertainty on fertility intentions and behaviour, to the effect of employment on changes in fertility intentions. This article analyses the association between a change in subjective employment uncertainty and fertility intentions and behaviour by distinguishing male and female partners' employment uncertainty, and examines the variation in these associations by education. Using a sample of men and women living in a couple from the Swiss Household Panel (SHP 2002-2011), we examine through multinomial analysis how changes in employment uncertainty and selected socio-demographic factors are related to individual childbearing decisions. Our results show strong gendered effects of changes in employment uncertainty on the revision of reproductive decisions among the highly educated population

Current debates on immunology of preeclampsia. Report of the sixth international workshop of Reunion Island (Indian Ocean, December 2008)
Les troubles hypertensifs de la grossesse (THG) reprĂ©sentent globalement 10 % des naissances humaines, et leur complication majeure, la prĂ©Ă©clampsie, 3 Ă 5 %. LâĂ©tiologie de ces THG reste toujours controversĂ©e ; cependant des avancĂ©es majeures ont eu lieu ces dernieres 25 annĂ©es. Le « sixiĂšme colloque international dâimmunologie de la reproduction, de lâimmunotolĂ©rance et de lâimmunologie de la prĂ©Ă©clampsie » 2008 a fĂȘtĂ© cette annĂ©e son dixiĂšme anniversaire. Durant cette dĂ©cennie, ces six colloques bisannuels ont largement contribuĂ© Ă nourrir le dĂ©bat entre immunologistes, cliniciens, anthropologues et spĂ©cialistes des maladies cardiovasculaires. Le dĂ©faut de lâinvasion trophoblastique profonde obligatoire chez les humains rencontrĂ©e dans la prĂ©Ă©clampsie, le retard de croissance intra-utĂ©rin, et dans une certaine mesure dans la menace dâaccouchement prĂ©maturĂ© nâont Ă©tĂ© compris quâĂ la fin des annĂ©es 1970. Dans le mĂȘme temps, des Ă©tudes cliniques et Ă©pidĂ©miologiques Ă la fin du xxe siĂšcle ont permis de rĂ©aliser que la prĂ©Ă©clampsie « maladie des primipares » pouvait en fait ĂȘtre une maladie de la premiĂšre grossesse au niveau dâun couple. Parmi les avancĂ©es significatives, lâimmunologie de la reproduction a fait des bonds de gĂ©ant dans la derniĂšre dĂ©cennie. Ce papier relate les Ă©tapes majeures franchies dans la comprĂ©hension de cette pathologie et met en lumiĂšre lâintĂ©rĂȘt de ces travaux immunologiques et des nouveaux concepts affĂ©rents. Il semble, en ce dĂ©but de xxie siĂšcle que nous soyons plus prĂšs que jamais de comprendre lâĂ©tiologie de cette Ă©nigme obstĂ©tricale. Dans ce domaine, lâimmunologie de la reproduction sera sans doute un des interlocuteurs majeurs.Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP) represent globally 10% of human births and their major complication, preeclampsia, 3 to 5%. The etiology of these HDP remains still uncertain, however major advances have been made these last 25 years. The Sixth International Workshop on Reproductive Immunology, Immunological Tolerance and Immunology of Preeclampsia 2008 celebrated its 10th Anniversary in Reunion-island (French overseas Department in the Indian Ocean). Over this decade, these six workshops have contributed extensively to immunological, epidemiological, anthropological and even vascular debates. The defect of trophoblastic invasion encountered in preeclampsia, intra-uterine growth retardation and to some extend also preterm labour has been understood only at the end of the 1970's. On the other hand, clinical and epidemiological findings at the end of the 20th century permitted to apprehend that âpreeclampsia disease of primiparaeâ may in fact well be the disease of first pregnancies at the level of human couples. Among the important advances, immunology of reproduction is certainly the topic where knowledge has literally exploded in the last decade. This paper relates some major steps in comprehension of this disease and focuses on the interest to follow these immunological works and their new concepts. It seems, at the beginning of the 21st century, that we are possibly closer than ever to understand the etiology of this obstetrical enigma. In this quest, the immunology of reproduction will certainly come out as one of the main players

Cultural Domains and Class Structure: Assessing Homologies and Cultural Legitimacy
International audienceIt is well known that the figures representing the French social space in Distinction (Bourdieu 1979) are based on several partial analyses. This means that one of Pierre Bourdieuâs central hypotheses â the structural homology between social and cultural spaces as wholes â was not empirically tested by way of correspondence analysis (although Bourdieu did perform such an analysis for the bourgeoisie and petite bourgeoisie). Furthermore, many of the sociological discussions of cultural practices which have appeared since the publishing of Distinction use data describing a single taste domain, often music. This is beginning to change, as large-scale surveys have been conducted for Australia (Bennett et al. 1999), Norway (Rosenlund 2000), Porto in Portugal (Borges Pereira 2005), Aalborg in Denmark (Prieur et al. 2008), Great Britain (Bennett et al. 2009) â but not for France. Furthermore, as it has never been empirically tested, it is not obvious that cultural tastes constitute a homogeneous universe of practices. They can be structured by domains, depending on the relative autonomy of their respective fields of production: taste in music is not necessarily distributed in the same way as taste in books, and their relation to the social space may also differ. The French survey on cultural practices Pratiques culturelles des Français (PCF 2008), enables new implementations and tests of these hypotheses through empirical analysis
