Improved knowledge of variations within countries and between communities has revealed heterogeneity in reproductive behaviours at sub-national levels - whether before, during, or after the so-called 'fertility transition'. Population studies have also come to give more attention to the role of structural inequalities, including around family, class, gender, and health, and of people's diverse and changing reproductive strategies that underpin varying low fertilities at sub-national levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection develops compositional demography approaches to address the advancements in sub-national variations. It brings together studies in anthropology, demography, history, and sociology, that have together developed an analytical lens for examining the low fertility phenomenon not as a mere average but as a composite of different reproductive behaviours and regimes. The volume is among the first to collect historical patterns of low fertilities and their underlying structural conditions in a long-term comparative perspective. It is also the first to detail comprehensively the compositional demography approach, which can be also applied to the study of various demographic phenomena around fertility, mortality, ageing, migration, and other population issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yuliya Hilevych\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1805966669\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781805966661\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e British Academy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/27\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.22lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.31d","brand":"Yuliya Hilevych","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48454401196287,"sku":"9781805966661","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8d58b2e3-8f1a-4c98-bda6-f161bfaa620e.jpg?v=1777306003","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/low-fertilities-in-the-past-yuliya-hilevych-9781805966661","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
