demographic anthropology Social Demography in nepal overview and scope
POPULATION AND DEVELOPMENT IN NEPAL, 2000Co-Authors: D R DahalAbstract:As elsewhere in the world demographic anthropology/Social Demography is an emerging new field of anthropology and Demography in Nepal. This paper is an attempt to cover two major areas in this field. The first part of the paper is an overview of the type of population research (in the field of migration fertility and mortality) done by anthropologists in Nepal and their contributions to this new field over the years. The objective here is to provide some reading materials to students and teachers who are interested in this field. The second part of the paper argues that macro-demographic research done in Nepal have given minimal attention on “cultural variables” which are so basic in understanding the demographic process. Finally the paper notes that there is a good scope of a graduate-level course in anthropological Demography within Tribhuvan University in Nepal. (authors)

Social-Demographic Characteristics of Acceptance of Measles Rubella Immunization in Tongkuno District, Indonesia
2019Co-Authors: Yanna Mellina, Arifin Seweng, Andi Mardiah TahirAbstract:Acceptance of immunization is one of the challenges faced by the government in the Rubella Measles immunization program. This study aims to measure the influence of Social Demography on the acceptance of Measles Rubella immunization in Tongkuno District, Indonesia. The study was conducted in the working area of Tongkuno Health Center, Muna Regency. The research design used was a cross sectional study. The research sample was 299 people who were selected using the proportional stratified random sampling technique. Data were analyzed using chi square test and logistic regression. The results showed the socio-demographic characteristics associated with receipt of Tongkuno District rubella measles immunization were the age of the child (p-value = 0.008), children's education (p-value = 0.002) and age of parents (p-value = 0.015). Child education is the variable most associated with the acceptance of MR immunization with an OR value of 0.155 (95% CI: 0.045 - 0.539). The intensive Socialization of MR immunization carried out by the government in all circles makes it easy for people to receive information that is not only influenced by education and the work of parents. counseling needs to be done and periodic outreach to both the community and mothers who have children about the benefits of MR immunization.

structure and behavior in the Social Demography of africa
Population and Development Review, 1995Co-Authors: Matthew LockwoodAbstract:The aim was to identify alternative ways for Social demographers to use ethnographic material and to overcome some of the deficits of structural-functional anthropology. Macro-Social modeling is useful and micro-Social approaches should be viewed as complementary and a fusion of structural and observed action-based analysis. Macro-level analysis provides easily quantifiable tests; micro-level analysis includes many methodological problems but allows for more complex explanations of behavior and of the relationship between Social norms and behavior. Demographic processes can be part of both wider Social relations and structures with universal quality and of context-specific partial explanations and deviance from the general pattern. The illustration of two coastal West African settings and their differences in postpartum abstinence behavior highlights the links between norms and actions. The Ikiti and the Ikale have different justifications for and Social meaning attached to sexual abstinence. A Social structural approach views norms as influencing actions. Micro approaches are needed because structural approaches leave many unanswered questions about the relationship between Social structure and behavior and structural models determine the scope and direction of research interest. African Demography has focused on large-scale relationships; changes or regional differences in demographic behavior have been explained in terms of structural theories. The processes of change have been ignored. Ethnographic information can be used effectively to question what macro-theories take for granted. Micro approaches are limited by the problems of interpretation and generalizing of explanations and then how best to formulate testable and generalizable hypotheses. The examples given show how conflicting norms are handled by using other strategies; factors other than norms determine abstinence. The micro analysis explains process successfully but is weak in explaining the origins of behavior.

the sociology of the life course and life span psychology integrated paradigm or complementing pathways
Advances in Life Course Research, 2009Co-Authors: Martin Diewald, Karl Ulrich MayerAbstract:The psychology of the life span and the sociology of the life course share the same object of scientific inquiry - the lives of women and men from birth to death. Both are part of an interdisciplinary field focused on individual development and life course patterns which also includes Social Demography and human capital economics. However, a closer look shows that life span psychology and life course sociology now to stand further apart than in the seventies. In this paper we reassess how this divergence can be understood in terms of necessary and legitimate strengths of both approaches, as well as avoidable weaknesses which could be overcome in the future by more re-combination and integration.
