Over the past decades Europe has witnessed fundamental changes of
its population dynamics and population structure. Fertility has
fallen below replacement level in almost all European countries,
while childbearing behavior and family formation have become more
diverse. Life expectancy has increased in Western Europe for both
females and males, but has been declining for men in some Eastern
European countries. Immigration from non-European countries has
increased substantially, as has mobility within Europe. These
changes pose major challenges to population studies, as
conventional theoretical assumptions regarding demographic behavior
and demographic development seem unfit to provide convincing
explanations of the recent demographic changes. This book, derived
from the symposium on "The Demography of Europe" held at the Max
Planck Institute for Demographic Research in Rostock, Germany in
November 2007 in honor of Professor Jan M. Hoem, brings together
leading population researchers in the area of fertility, family,
migration, life-expectancy, and mortality. The contributions
present key issues of the new demography of Europe and discuss key
research advances to understand the continent's demographic
development at the turn of the 21st century.
