France-Ukraine: Demographic Twins Separated by History
Collection: Population & Societies
n°413, June 2005
Abstract
France and Ukraine would appear to be very far apart in terms of economics and history. Yet their demographic profiles were very similar for more than fifty years. France Meslé, Gilles Pison and Jacques Vallin investigate the long-term trends at work and tell us how that chance resemblance has given way to profound differences.
