Abstract: Abstract The family transformations associated with the Second Demographic Transition can be seen as the consequence of three macro factors–economic, ideological, and demographic–acting through two intermediate factors–the rise of gender competition and the fall in the social capital value of marriage and children. This theoretical perspective provides the background for a dozen focused analyses that explore theoretical issues, develop methodological innovations, and provide detailed examinations of actual populations in transformation.
