Rather than  giving a rough overview of demographic changes in many countries, a  comparison of differences in changes in family formation and fertility  behaviour between Belgium and The Netherlands is interesting for  various reasons. \u003cbr\u003e  First, even though the economic and cultural differences between these  countries are relatively small there is one important difference:  Belgium is predominantly Catholic, whereas The Netherlands has about  equal proportions of Catholics and Protestants. Second, if the Second  Demographic Transition implies that there is one common pattern of  change in different European countries and that differences across  countries are due to the fact that countries are in a different stage  of the transition process, and if it is assumed that the transition  process started earlier in Protestant countries than in Catholic  countries, one would expect The Netherlands to be in a further stage  of the transition process than Belgium. Thus an in-depth comparison of  changes in family formation and fertility behaviour between both  countries may give us more insight in the question of whether there is  one common transition process. The comparison of fertility and family  survey-data in both countries brings us to the core question of  whether there is one common explanation for differences between  countries in various types of fertility and family behaviour under  consideration, namely fertility regulation, the choice of living  arrangement after leaving the parental home, and the labour force  participation of mothers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2000-09-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792364610\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-015-9512-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 234.0cm x156.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 141.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45548426166412,"sku":"9780792364610","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792364610.jpg?v=1766467548","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792364610","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
