Call for Papers: Demographic Change and Challenges in the Americas – Canadian Studies in Population (10/15/24)
Posted: 10/11/2024 (Conference)
Special issue of Canadian Studies in Population on “Demographic Change and Challenges in the Americas”
- Deadline for submissions: 15 October 2024
This special issue of Canadian Studies in Population will spotlight key demographic concerns facing the Americas, including migration, mortality and morbidity, fertility, and family dynamics, and provide a forward-looking introduction that sets an agenda for a more integrated approach to understanding demographic change in the region. We seek papers that address demographic processes in the Americas, broadly defined, from Canada to Patagonia. Our issue is motivated by the following core questions about demography in the Americas:
- What are the most important emerging demographic trends and processes in the Americas?
- How do demographic processes in the Americas challenge or bring nuance to understanding of processes found elsewhere?
- Are there regional demographic systems in the Americas? Are national demographic trends emblematic of regional trends? How heterogeneous is the demography of countries and regions?
- Are similar demographic dynamics/mechanisms evident across places (i.e., changing mortality risks or fertility decline)?
- How do national policies relate to unique demographic outcomes?
Papers may focus on a specific country or identify links and demographic systems between countries or regions. We invite papers that present novel empirical evidence, methodological insights or theoretical contributions. Empirical papers may include descriptive findings or center on identifying mechanisms. Authors are encouraged to situate their findings in regional context if they are not explicitly comparative in nature.
