This handbook presents a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of
gender in demography, addressing the many different influences of
gender that arise from or influence demographic processes. It
collects in one volume the key issues and perspectives in this
area, whereby demography is broadly defined. The purpose in casting
a wide net is to cover the range of work being done within
demography, but at the same time to open up our perspectives to
neighboring fields to encourage better conversations around these
issues. The chapters in this handbook carefully document definition
and measurement issues, and take up parts of the demographic
picture and focus on how gender plays a role in outcomes. In other
cases, gender often plays a cross-cutting role in social processes;
rather than having a single or easily distinguishable role, it
often combines with other social institutions and even other
statuses and inequalities to affect outcomes. Thus, a key factor in
this volume is how gender interacts with race/ethnicity, class,
nationality, and sexuality in any demographic setting. While each
section contains chapters that are broad overviews of the current
state of knowledge and behavior, the handbook also includes
chapters that focus on specific cultures or events in order to
examine how gender operates in a particular circumstance.
