Highlights that second #demographic transition determinants (e.g. #education, #maritalstatus, #genderequality) are more appropriate than #economic development and #urbanisation to explain #fertility change spatial variation in #China from 2000-2010 - by Hu, Kulu & Mikolai: doi.org/10.1080/17441730.2025.

ABSTRACT
Fertility change varies spatially in China, however, the trend and factors that influence the variation at the county level are not fully understood. We analysed the spatial variation in fertility change at the county level in China between 2000 and 2010 using spatial Durbin models. We focused on understanding whether and how changes in population composition, local context, and migration influence changing fertility levels across counties. The results show that fertility change varied in different regions from 2000 to 2010, supporting the idea that the stages of fertility transition are spatially different. An increase in females' educational level and a decrease in the share of the married population in a given county and its neighbouring counties are associated with fertility decline. The results highlight that the determinants of the second demographic transition (e.g. education, marital status, gender equality) are more appropriate than economic development and urbanisation to explain spatial variation in fertility change in China from 2000 to 2010. There are significant spillover effects, i.e. changes in neighbouring areas also influence fertility changes in a given region.

Les « Communs Urbains » face à la théorie de l’espace social d’Henri Lefebvre

Un texte de Renaud Lariagon à lire sur terre à terre

Résumé : "Dans le contexte d’une #urbanisation rapide, globale et soutenue par les politiques néolibérales, l’accaparement des ressources et la destruction de la #nature se sont intensifiés. Il en est de même pour les biens et les services urbains : démantèlement des services publics comme l’#éducation, privatisation des ressources comme l’#eau, brevetage des connaissances ou cession d’#espacespublics aux entreprises.

Une étude de nos chercheuses et chercheurs révèle que les métropoles suivent les mêmes lois universelles que celles observées dans les organismes vivants. Population, émissions de CO₂, réseaux routiers: et si la clé d’une urbanisation durable se trouvait dans le «métabolisme» même de nos cités?

Today I learned:

That #kestrels are on the red list of most concern for conservation of birds in #Ireland due to persistent annual decline, apparently due to a combination of farming practices, #raptor #persecution, and #rural #urbanisation, which takes away not only their foraging areas, but their prey, and habitat suitability.

Now, what do we have here perched on an ESB electricity wire scouting for prey behind our garden, and on land for which a proposed dwelling has been applied for by 3rd parties? This is literally a few metres from a "special area of conservation".

Pictures taken in August 2023 and again in August 2025.

in has been subject to rapid driven by climate migrants fleeing the rising threat of extreme weather events and natural disasters. Nuraine and her mother live in the city. Nuraine wanted to have a picnic outside in nature, but there are very few parks left, so her mother decided to recreate a ‘nature experience’ on the roof of their apartment building.
