Call for papers: Population Inequality Matters
Current call by Vienna Yearbook for Population Research (VYPR)
The VYPR invites submissions for the Special Issue entitled “Population Inequality Matters” guest edited by Vanessa di Lego, Michaela Kreyenfeld, Iñaki Permanyer, Michaela Potančoková and Miguel Sánchez-Romero.
Population inequality is a central topic in demographic research. Social scientists at large have a longstanding tradition on researching inequalities in health, mortality and fertility across socio-economic groups, subnational regions and countries. However, besides classical markers of heterogeneity in individual behavior, such as sex/gender, age, education, urban-rural residence and socio-economic status, other sources of inequality related to generational, environmental, and spatial factors have received more attention in recent years. Understanding population inequality is key for modeling population developments and projecting them into the future. Equally important is to understand how and why different types of inequality arise and evolve, and what policy challenges they impose for socio-economic development, welfare systems and social cohesion.
The VYPR is a platinum open-access journal published by the Vienna Institute of Demography (VID) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences since 2003. A double-blind peer review process starts right after submission. Articles are published online on a rolling basis.
Deadline for submission: 31 May 2024
