Fertility, Marriage Age, and Contraceptive use in Central Asia and North Africa: A Comparative Study

Woman in Russian Society. 2024. No. 2. P. 55–74.
Yassir Ali Mohammed

Цель данной работы - сравнить показатели рождаемости, первого возраста вступления в брак, использования контрацепции в странах Центральной Азии и Северной Африки: Кыргызстане, Таджикистане, Узбекистане и Казахстане. Египет, Алжир, Тунис и Марокко соответственно.

Результаты показывают, что рождаемость в Марокко и Кыргызстане различна, в Марокко самый высокий возраст вступления в первый брак, а в Кыргызстане - самый низкий. В сельских районах уровень рождаемости ниже, чем в городах. Общий коэффициент рождаемости в Марокко составляет 2,35, что свидетельствует об успешных усилиях правительства по снижению рождаемости. Коэффициент рождаемости в Тунисе - самый низкий среди всех стран. На рождаемость также влияют такие факторы, как уровень образования, доступ к контрацепции, религиозные убеждения и спрос на услуги по планированию семьи. В Египте возраст вступления в первый брак варьируется в зависимости от места проживания, причем в городских районах он выше, чем в сельской местности. В Кыргызстане самый высокий уровень рождаемости, который снизится с 3,9 ребенка на одну женщину в 2011 году до 3,05 в 2020 году.  Эти последствия требуют серьезных исследований, поскольку население некоторых стран растет очень быстро, а некоторых - замедляется, что очень хорошо. Если рождаемость снижается, то это должно повлиять на численность населения с учетом всех остальных факторов.

Individualism–collectivism: Reconstructing Hofstede’s dimension of cultural differences
Akaliyski P., Vignoles V., Welzel C. et al., Journal of Personality and Social Psychology 2025 Vol. 130 No. 2 P. 308–356
Individualism–collectivism (I-C), the most widely researched cultural dimension, is often equated with Hofstede’s pioneering nation scores. Concerns are growing about these scores’ validity, but subsequent research has not produced a widely accepted alternative. Here, we offer a refined theoretical conceptualization of I-C, we systematically reevaluate the validity of Hofstede’s I-C scores, and we report the ...

The nature and utility of cultural tightness–looseness: evidence for reconsideration
Minkov M., Akaliyski P., Kaasa A. et al., Journal of International Business Studies 2025 Vol. 56 No. 9 P. 1197–1206
Numerous studies focus on the tightness–looseness (TL) dimension of national culture, reporting important implications for business and management. However, the main TL measure has generated a number of theoretical and empirical concerns. It likely reflects unfounded national auto-stereotypes, the conceptual boundary between TL and individualism–collectivism (IC) is blurred, respondents in different societies have different TL-related ...

Is societal progress muting the expressivity of negative emotions? Evidence from two cross-national studies
Yeung J. C., Lun V. M., Li L. M. et al., Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology 2026 P. 1–30
Contemporary theories of emotion emphasize the dual role of emotions as both personal experiences and communicative signals during social interactions. However, the impact of macro-level societal structures on emotional expression remains underexplored. This study investigates the expression-experience discrepancy for self-reported emotions across nations, focusing on how societal development relates to this discrepancy, which captures expressivity. Using meta-analysis and multilevel modeling ...

«Суверенная зависимость»: механизмы удержания в российских цифровых экосистемах
Stupitskiy A., Социологические исследования 2026 № 8 С. 92–105
The classical theory of platforms describes user dependency on digital ecosystems as a rational economic choice: users stay because it is convenient and switching is costly. But what happens when there is nowhere to switch — not because alternatives are less convenient, but because the state has eliminated them? This article introduces the concept of “sovereign lock-in” to ...

Shkolnikov, V. M., Timonin, S. A., Jdanov D. et al., Plos One 2026 Vol. 21 No. 2 P. 1–15
For decades, life expectancy in Eastern Europe has lagged behind that in Western Europe, although the gap has narrowed since the mid-2000s. We examined the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on these long-term trends by estimating and decomposing East-West differences in excess mortality and life expectancy losses. Regression models were used to explore the contribution ...

Utilitarian moral agents are perceived as braver and more moral when judged in a foreign language: Evidence from Tanzania
Butovskaya M., Bilingualism: Language and Cognition 2026 No. 29 P. 1078–1083
We examined how language affects moral judgments in a non-WEIRD population. Tanzanian participants (N = 103) evaluated utilitarian agents in moral dilemmas, either in native Chagga or foreign Swahili. Agents were rated significantly more moral and braver when evaluated in a foreign language. Bravery predicted morality more strongly in the foreign language than in the native language. Indirect sacrifices ...

В статье рассматриваются причины появления новой экономической социологии, обратившейся на рубеже 1980-х годов к изучению рынков и других тем, которые до этого традиционно считались экономическими, отчасти в ответ на нарастающее вторжение экономистов в области социальных наук.

Russia's Maternal Capital policy initially increased total fertility rates, stimulating much discussion on whether it would result in more births or only earlier births. Effects of that policy upon different ethnic groups within Russia, however, have not received systematic attention. Varying demographic, socioeconomic and cultural characteristics of ethnic groups in Russia provide a unique opportunity ...
