A central principle of science is the expression of accumulated knowledge in law-like statements from which particular cases may be deduced. Among the social sciences, demography stands out for its ability to present such generalizations based on the careful analysis of reliable data. In the field of mortality studies, several such generalizations can be made: the familiar age pattern of mortality; higher male than female mortality and lower mortality where material resources are greater, or interpersonal relationships are stronger.The specific realization of these generalizations will vary from one situation to another, and it is often in clarifying their specific operation under different conditions that we

<p></p>
Society has progressed in how people are identified. Identity plays a significant role in people's lives especially in healthcare. Race and ethnicity play a major role in environmental risks, exposure to toxins, and overall healthcare treatment and quality (Davis, Winslow, and Maume 2017). Marginalized sexualities and gender identities pose different health risks for Human Papillomavirus (HPV) and types of cancer such as breast, cervical, and ovarian (Shetty et al. 2016). While all four types of identities reflect structural positioning that can affect a person's health, it is important to understand that people have more than one identity. The intersection of identities must be taken into consideration to

https://muse.jhu.edu/article/942095
<p></p>
From the mid-twentieth century onwards, the global population experienced a remarkable increase, surpassing threefold to 8 billion people on 15 November 2022, which was officially dubbed the "Day of 8 billion" by the United Nations. Projections from the United Nations indicate that this figure could increase to approximately 11 billion by the year 2100 (United Nations Economic and Social Affairs, 2022). The capacity for reproduction, which enables the bearing of human offspring following the attainment of sexual maturity, constitutes a fundamental aspect of population development. The World Health Organization (2020) defines fertility as the incidence of childbearing within a population, characterized by the

<p></p>
Despite the existence of a broad methodological apparatus in demography, divorce is studied less frequently, especially when compared to marriage. There is a relatively large number of studies, particularly from the USA, that focus on the development or factors of divorce from a longitudinal perspective, though most studies approach this data transversally. Deep knowledge of the development of the divorce rate in terms of its timing, structure and intergenerational changes is key for understanding the factors or predictors that affect it. Factors such as age at the time of marriage, economic development, the length and frequency of premarital cohabitation, religion, race or other demographic and sociological traits

https://muse.jhu.edu/article/942097
<p></p>
Marriage has a strong influence on a variety of demographic, social, and economic phenomena and the age at which a woman enters first marriage or union has key relations to population growth, health, fertility rates, woman's development, socio-economic indicators relating to women in society (Bloom and Reddy 1986; Islam and Rahman 2020; Mahdaviazad 2019; Statistics South Africa 2023). In South Africa, the Marriage Act, Act 25 of 1961 allows minors to get married (Government of South Africa 1961). It stipulates that persons under the age of 21 years who have never been married before and are intending to get married for the first time, need the consent from their parents or guardians or of a judge of the Supreme

https://muse.jhu.edu/article/945433
<p></p>
Today, more than ever, students’ educational trajectories are strongly influenced by local societies’ functioning. A large body of research suggests that spatial dimensions and local dynamics are central functions of students’ pathways (Ibourk and Raoui, 2021, 2022; 2023; 2024). Thus, this work focuses on the notion of socio-spatial belonging. At the territorial level, education is supposed to contribute to intergenerational social advancement (Jaquet, 2014). However, most research has found that students’ academic success is not equal, because it is affected by their social and spatial origins (Peugnay, 2013). Furthermore, the probability of pupils dropping out of school shows inequalities between geographical

https://muse.jhu.edu/article/946252
<p></p>
The onset of the first menstrual cycle, known as menarche, and the natural cessation of menstruation, referred to as menopause, are key stages in a woman's reproductive life. These two events are considered milestones in the reproductive life span of women. Kisch (1910) was the first to use menarche in medical science. For the assessment of the developmental status of pubertal girls, menarche is one of the maturity indicators (Cameron and Nagdee 1996). Menarche is the most important biological event in the life of every girl. However, its timing is influenced by several biological and socioeconomic factors. Menarche signals the beginning of fertility and reproductive capabilities, so the absence of it should prompt

https://muse.jhu.edu/article/947303
<p></p>
In the second half of the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, global migration became one of the key factors of social change and development in the world's regions. This phenomenon, which has become widespread, has gone beyond the control of national states and has a pronounced ethno-social and ethno-political character. Global migration processes have opened new perspectives for social and micro-social relations, changed ethno-national perceptions and led to a decrease in the homogeneity of indigenous nations.The global community is currently in a state of intensified processes of constructing, changing, and reactivating identities, especially national ones. Being a complex, multisystemic, multifunctional
