Nearly all new mothers experience some apprehension about the transition to parenthood, but in some, symptoms become severe and disturbing. New research suggests that during the perinatal period-which includes pregnancy and the first year postpartum-anxiety disorders can be more common than depression. Amy Wenzel describes the main types of perinatal anxiety and the various ways in which they are expressed in women, as well as approaches for assessment and treatment.

Low fertility, one of the critical issues in the contemporary world, will persist in the foreseeable future. That is arguably the principal conclusion of this book. Fundamental changes in social security and health care systems, taxation schemes, and migration policies, for instance, are inevitable, unless societies are able to institute effective measures and create favorable conditions for increasing fertility. Such are the unavoidable challenges facing European and other economically advanced countries.

This book discusses the relationship between women’s labour force participation and fertility rates in developed nations. It shows a positive relationship between women’s workforce participation and childbirth. It theorises a new approach to explaining this ‘fertility paradox’ that looks at institutional factors influencing gender equality in developed nations. The book analyses a range of institutional variables that impact the positive relationship between female employment and fertility rates, including labour market institutions, social policies and welfare state institutions (family policies, active labour market programs and public sector employment) as well as household gender dynamics. Written for both academics and policy-makers, this book has theoretical relevance for research on gender and work, and also for policies aimed at increasing women’s employment and redressing low fertility, which are important issues in many developed nations.
