The mortality impact of the August 2003 heat wave in France: Investigating the ‘harvesting’ effect and other long-term consequences

Laurent Toulemon; Magali Barbieri

In August 2003, Western Europe experienced a deadly heat wave. It is estimated that 15,000 people died in France from its direct effects. Applying an indirect estimation technique to the monthly number of deaths by sex, age, and place of residence for the period 1996–2003, we estimate the number of years that would have remained to those who died from the heat wave had they been spared. The paper also evaluates the role of the ‘harvesting’ effect of the 2003 heat wave in explaining the deficit of deaths recorded in 2004—estimated at 23,000 out of an expected total of 535,000 deaths. The harvesting effect was modest and accounted for fewer than 5,000 of the ‘missing’ deaths in 2004. The mortality decline in 2004 is thus due mainly to other factors. One hypothesis is that special efforts have been directed towards isolated older people as a consequence of the heat wave.

Nuptiality, Fertility, Use of Contraception, and Family Policies in Uzbekistan

Magali Barbieri; Alain Blum; Elena Dolkigh; Amon Ergashev

With more than 22 million inhabitants, Uzbekistan is the most populous of the Central Asian republics of the former USSR. Using data from a retrospective survey conducted in 1992 among women of reproductive age, the paper examines fertility trends and determinants during the twentieth century. The analysis shows that the absence of a government-supported birth control programme and the strong pro-natalist policies of the Soviet authorities during most of the century did not affect either the onset, nor the progress of the fertility transition. The results indicate, however, that the social development programmes undertaken by the Soviet government did play a very active part in the transition as shown by the impact of education on reproductive behaviour, as well as on the very specific contraceptive mix adopted by the population after the mid-1970s.

The Possible Effects of Child Survival on Women's Ages at First Union and Childbirth in Sub-Saharan Africa

Thomas LeGrand; Magali Barbieri

Improvements in childsurvival may lead to lower fertility throughseveral pathways. To date, most studies havefocused on the physiological and replacementeffects, whose impacts are known to be modestin size. Few have examined the potentially moreimportant insurance effect on fertility withinunion, and almost none have considered thepossible relationship between child mortalityand marriage, which could also grow out of aninsurance strategy. In this study, we use datafrom 21 sub-Saharan African countries to assessthe relationship between child mortality andyoung womens ages at first marriage andchildbirth. The results show that lower levelsof mortality are strongly associated with latermarriages and first births, even aftercontrolling for the effects of a large numberof other variables. The implications of thefindings are discussed and alternativeexplanations for this relationship arepresented.

Recent Demographic Developments in France: Relatively Low Mortality at Advanced Ages

Magali Barbieri; Paul Reeve

France had 65.3 million inhabitants as of 1 January 2012, including 1.9 million in the overseas départements. The population is slightly younger than that of the European Union as a whole. Population growth continues at the same rate, mainly through natural increase. There are now more African than European immigrants living in France. Fertility was practically stable in 2011 (2.01 children per woman), but the lifetime fertility of the 1971-1972 cohorts reached a historic low in metropolitan France (1.99 children per woman), nevertheless remaining among the highest in Europe. Abortion levels remained stable and rates among young people are no longer increasing. The marriage rate is falling and the divorce rate has stabilized (46.2 divorces per 100 marriages in 2011). The risk of divorce decreases with age, but has greatly increased among the under-70s over the last decade. Life expectancy at birth (78.4 years for men, 85.0 for women) has continued to increase at the same rate, mainly thanks to progress at advanced ages. Among European countries, France has the lowest mortality in the over-65 age group, but it ranks less well for premature mortality.

Infant and Child Mortality in the Less Developed World

Magali Barbieri

About 7xa0million children below 5xa0years of age die every year around the world. The situation is particularly dire in sub-Saharan Africa where infant and child mortality rates are 15 times higher than in high-income regions. Over two-thirds of all child deaths are attributable to a small number of infectious and parasitic diseases aggravated by malnutrition, and most could be avoided with the mass implementation of simple and low-cost interventions. Government commitment along with the support of international organizations has led to tremendous improvements over the past few decades; however, in the poorest countries, the challenges of AIDS and the resurgence of diseases such as malaria and cholera have slowed the positive trends observed since the 1950s.
