Central Asian post-independence media and communication industries,
professional practices, education, persisting and evolving values,
and traditions remain critically understudied with a notable
scarcity of research and scholarly publications on the complex and
increasingly changing communicative ecology landscape of this
region. Mapping the Media and Communication Landscape of Central
Asia: An Anthology of Emerging and Contemporary Issues addresses
this gap in literature by exploring, analyzing, and shedding light
to the field, practice, research and critical inquiry of media and
mass communication in four countries in Central Asia-Kyrgyzstan,
Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan. This book includes local
authors as well as new and emerging researchers from this region to
contextualize the issues explored and provide a supportive dialogue
between different points of view.
This volume combines approaches from three disciplines - economics,
sociology, and demography - and empirically analyzes the key
aspects of the labor market and social demography processes in
post-Soviet transitional societies while focusing on the gender
perspective. Here, readers will find empirical studies on such
countries as Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia,
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, Tajikistan, Ukraine, and
Uzbekistan. The volume contributes to the literature by addressing
the lack of academic empirical research on gender difference issues
in the labor markets of post-Soviet countries as well as gender
inequalities in fertility preferences, gender disparities among the
youth and elderly, the gender pay gap, gender differences in
employment, and female voices. The book brings together researchers
of different disciplines from a variety of countries,
distinguishing this project as international and interdisciplinary.
The authors use the quantitative survey micro-data approach as well
as the qualitative methods of interview data analysis to provide a
comprehensive and detailed overview of the economic and social
developments in the region regarding gender differences. The volume
consists of three parts tackling the following topics: 1) gender
differences and demography (family formation and fertility, youth
and elderly employment); 2) gender differences and labor market
(gender wage gap, motherhood wage penalty, gender differences among
freelancers, and women in STEM science); and 3) gender differences,
well-being, and gender equality attitudes (women's voices, women's
collective actions, gender equality attitudes, and spending
patterns of housewives).

This book examines the demographic development of Russia from the
late Russian Empire to the contemporary Russian Federation, and
includes discussions of marriage patterns, fertility, mortality,
and inter-regional migration. In this pioneering study, the authors
present the first English-language overview of demographic data
collection in Russia. Chapters in the book offer a systematic
overview of the legislation regulating fertility and the family
sphere, a study of the factors determining first and higher order
births, and an examination of population distribution across
Russian regions. The book also combines research tools from the
social sciences with a medical approach to provide a study of
mortality rates. By bringing together approaches from several
disciplines - demography, economics, and sociology - the authors of
this book provide a comprehensive and detailed assessment of the
historical roots of Russia's demographic development.
