Adolescent fertility is declining worldwide
Gilles Pison
The media focus on adolescent fertility and the public debate on
this issue would suggest that its frequency is increasing. In fact,
the number of births to very young mothers is actually falling across
the world. After describing the current situation, Gilles Pison
explains the reason for this decline.

Golaz, Laurent Nowik and Muriel Sajoux explain how African demography
is likely to evolve between now and 2050, and explore the challenges

Are women more economically active in Germany than France?
Anne Salles
The German labour market is in better shape than that of France,
and the employment rate among women in particular is higher. This
is true even though German women have more difficulty reconciling
work and family life than in France. Anne Salles takes a critical
look at employment indicators and how they are calculated, and explains
why German women appear to be more economically active than French
women, and what is really happening in the two countries.
