REPRO is an interdisciplinary research project part of the Seventh Research Framework Programme (EU7). It aims at analysing the causes and consequences of low fertility in Europe from demographic, sociological, economic, social psychological and anthropological points of views. MORE

The overreaching objectives of the project were to generate knowledge about obstacles and needs for opportunity enhancement for economic and social integration and emancipation of women immigrants in a life-course perspective, identify requirements for integrative interaction between immigrants and national population in the host country, build this knowledge into a platform for the policy deliberations among key policy stakeholders, and elaborate recommendations on needs for immigrants and support policies and services for their integration in view of population ageing in Europe.

The general objective of the project is to explain variations in the views of European men and women on the organisation of the life course. Attention is paid to markers of the transition from one life stage to another, the content of social norms about the timing and sequencing of demographic events, and the importance of life planning in contemporary societies. These questions are answered in a comparative perspective and making use of data from the Timing of Life module in the 2006 wave of the European Social Survey. MORE
