The history of the fight against AIDS has been marked by the development of major scientific and biomedical innovations: antiretroviral treatments, rapid screening tests, pre-exposure prophylaxis...

We develop a theoretical framework that predicts a decline in fertility following these reforms because...

Why it happened so ear...

Sur les questions de population, l’auteur bénéficiant de la plus forte notoriété est incontestablement Malthus, dont le nom figure dans de nombreux livres scolaires et qu’aucun étudiant en sciences sociales ne peut ignorer. Toutefois, la référence très fréquente à Malthus n’est pas nouvelle. Par exemple, en 1848, Proudhon écrit : « Tout ce qui se f...
