Abortion Policies and Reproductive Health Around the World
The report on "Abortion Policies and Reproductive Health Around the World" provides up-to-date information on Government policies on abortion and related reproductive health issues for all 193 Member States, 2 Observer States and 2 non-member States of the United Nations. The report provides changes between 1996 and 2013 in legal grounds on which induced abortion is permitted in each country. Seven legal grounds for abortion are included, namely: (1) to save the life of a woman; (2) to preserve a woman's physical health; (3) to preserve a woman's mental health; (4) in case of rape or incest; (5) because of foetal impairment; (6) for economic or social reasons; and (7) on request. The report also includes latest available information on Government policies and programmes related to fertility, family planning, access to reproductive health services, and maternal mortality. In addition, the report provides information on how abortion policies are associated with selected reproductive health indicators.
Evoluzione dell’urbanizzazione. Storia e sviluppo delle città nel mondo
Un saggio che analizza con precisione e chiarezza il fenomeno dell’urbanizzazione, un fenomeno in evoluzione, ponendo particolare attenzione alla nascita e allo sviluppo delle città nel mondo. L’urbanizzazione non è certo un fenomeno nuovo: di migrazione delle popolazioni dalla campagna alla città si parla da secoli. Tuttavia, il più recente interesse nei confronti dell’urbanizzazione è dovuto alle dimensioni che oggi il fenomeno assume su scala globale: il 55% della popolazione mondiale vive in aree urbane, e si prevede che tale dato aumenterà al 68% circa entro il 2050. Si tratta di una tendenza globale a cui partecipa anche il nostro Paese: in Italia circa il 75% della popolaz...
Replacement Migration
United Nations projections indicate that over the next 50 years, the populations of virtually all countries of Europe as well as Japan will face population decline and population ageing. The new challenges of declining and ageing populations will require comprehensive reassessments of many established policies and programmes, including those relating to international migration. Focusing on these two striking and critical population trends, the report considers replacement migration for eight low-fertility countries (France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Republic of Korea, Russian Federation, United Kingdom and United States) and two regions (Europe and the European Union). Replacement migration refers to the international migration that a country would need to offset population decline and population ageing resulting from low fertility and mortality rates.
Reinterpreting Sub-Saharan Cities through the Concept of Adaptive Capacity
This book explores whether and how a reinterpretation of Sub-Saharan cities, through the concept of adaptive capacity, could bridge this distance and contribute to a new understanding of the contemporary city. The research contributes to improved knowledge of urban and environmental planning and of the dynamics of development and environmental management in peri-urban areas of Dar es Salaam. This knowledge highlights the limits of certain common generalizations on the character of peri-urban areas. Moreover, the research provides methodological contribution derived from considerations on the strengths and weakness of tools and methods for investigating adaptive capacity and for environmental management, in the city of Dar es Salaam. Finally, it highlights controversial issues and possible research paths related to the relationship between adaptive capacity and urban and environmental planning.
