It explores new theoretical perspectives that seek to incorporate narratives of the future, demographic uncertainty, and determinants of unplanned pregnancy. The context of fertility is changing, and the new, important subjects of policy interventions, multi-partner fertility and complex parenthood are explored. Recent developments in assortative mating, partner choice, and relationship stability are examined in both national and international contexts, while further chapters analyze contemporary international migration. Methodological advances in modeling heterogeneity in mortality and extending period\/cohort translation relationships are presented, and new analyses explore the implications of age patterns of fertility change. As such, this book provides up-to-date research spanning the entire field to illuminate contemporary developments, and will be of value to demographers, sociologists, economists, and all those interested in understanding demographic change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRobert Schoen received a Ph.D. degree in Demography from the University of California Berkeley in 1972.  He has been a Professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Johns Hopkins University, and Penn State University, where he was the Hoffman Professor of Family Sociology and Demography.  In 2004, he received the Mindel Sheps Award in Mathematical Demography \/ Demographic Methods from the Population Association of America.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e24 June 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Nature Switzerland\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9783031897399\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePaperback softback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e431\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52241610637452,"sku":"9783031897399","price":143.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783031897399.jpg?v=1786540268","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9783031897399","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
