    Demographic Insights 1/2012 - Women & Work
    Career, children and combining the two is a big enough problem for most women. Yet for demographers it is no more then the tip of the iceberg: In the ageing and shrinking European population of the near future, women will have to further shore up the declining workforce, look after their children, and also increasingly care for elderly family members. Recent research takes a closer look at these challenges and how to tackle them.

Their recent research provides exciting insights and leads to new political questions.
