EDITORS NIDI, P.O. Box 11650, 2502 AR The Hague, The Netherlands
CBGS, Markiesstraat 1, 1000 Brussels, Belgium This volume is the
tenth edition in the series "Population and Family in the Low
Countries." It is published by the Netherlands Interdisciplinary
Demo graphic Institute (NIDI, The Hague) together with the Flemish
Population and Family Study Centre (CBGS, Brussels), with the
purpose to inform an international audience on results of
demographic research in Belgium and the Netherlands. The series
started in 1976. From 1991 on, it is published annually. The
current edition includes seven articles reflecting a selection of
current research issues in the Low Countries. With permission of
the Dutch and Belgian Governments the national reports submitted to
the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development
(Cai'ro) are also included in this volume. They provide up to date
information on the official views at present of the Dutch and
Belgian Government on demographic trends and population policy
issues."
The aim of Diversity in Family Formation is to examine changes in
the start of the family formation process. Rather than giving a
rough overview of demographic changes in many countries, a
comparison of differences in changes in family formation and
fertility behaviour between Belgium and The Netherlands is
interesting for various reasons. First, even though the economic
and cultural differences between these countries are relatively
small there is one important difference: Belgium is predominantly
Catholic, whereas The Netherlands has about equal proportions of
Catholics and Protestants. Second, if the Second Demographic
Transition implies that there is one common pattern of change in
different European countries and that differences across countries
are due to the fact that countries are in a different stage of the
transition process, and if it is assumed that the transition
process started earlier in Protestant countries than in Catholic
countries, one would expect The Netherlands to be in a further
stage of the transition process than Belgium. Thus an in-depth
comparison of changes in family formation and fertility behaviour
between both countries may give us more insight in the question of
whether there is one common transition process. The comparison of
fertility and family survey-data in both countries brings us to the
core question of whether there is one common explanation for
differences between countries in various types of fertility and
family behaviour under consideration, namely fertility regulation,
the choice of living arrangement after leaving the parental home,
and the labour force participation of mothers.

11650, 2502 AR The Hague, The Netherlands ** CBGS, Markiesstraat 1,
1000 Brussels, Belgium The series "Population and Family in the Low
Countries" (POPFAM), established in 1976, aims to introduce
selected issues of demographic research in Flanders/Belgium and the
Netherlands to an international audience. The publication series
results from cooperation between the Nether lands Interdisciplinary
Demographic Institute (NIDI, The Hague) and the Flemish Population
and Family Study Centre (CBGS, Brussels). This 1995 edition is the
111h in the series. In 1995, the NIDI celebrates its 25th
anniversary as the Dutch national demographic institute, making it
a special year for Dutch demography. The contents of this
publication obviously highlights this event as most articles
selected for this edition are written by Dutch or NIDI related
scholars. The article "Ageing and the demand for care: scenario
studies for Europe" by Hanna van Solinge and Jenny de Jong Gierveld
concerns a comparative study with respect to the consequences of
ageing populations for the infrastructure of care for the elderly.
It presents results of a scenario study on future developments in
demand and supply of elderly care services for a selected number of
European countries, summarizing an extensive study on the impact of
ageing populations on the socio-medical system conducted by the
authors on behalf of the European Population Committee of the
Council of Europe."
