Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Family planning
  • Developing country
  • Social science

His scientific interests lie mostly in Fertility, Developing country, Total fertility rate, Family planning and Demography. His Fertility study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Internal medicine, Abortion and Socioeconomics. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Demographic economics, Socioeconomic development, Development economics, Public policy and Interpersonal relationship.

His Total fertility rate study combines topics in areas such as Demographic analysis, Birth rate, Fertility Preferences, Amenorrhea and Natural fertility. His work investigates the relationship between Family planning and topics such as Reproductive health that intersect with problems in Projections of population growth and Population statistics. While the research belongs to areas of Demography, he spends his time largely on the problem of Developed country, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Infertility and Postpartum period.

His most cited work include:

  • A framework for analyzing the proximate determinants of fertility (883 citations)
  • Social interactions and contemporary fertility transitions. (695 citations)
  • On the quantum and tempo of fertility. (584 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of study are Fertility, Demography, Developing country, Family planning and Total fertility rate. His research integrates issues of Abortion, Socioeconomics and Demographic economics in his study of Fertility. His research investigates the connection between Demography and topics such as Demographic analysis that intersect with issues in Mortality rate.

John Bongaarts combines subjects such as Socioeconomic development, Population growth and Program evaluation with his study of Developing country. His Family planning research includes themes of Socioeconomic status, Child mortality and Reproductive health. Many of his studies on Total fertility rate apply to Natural fertility as well.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Fertility (39.62%)
  • Demography (31.13%)
  • Developing country (26.42%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2020)?

  • Fertility (39.62%)
  • Demography (31.13%)
  • Demographic analysis (16.04%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His main research concerns Fertility, Demography, Demographic analysis, Family planning and Economic growth. His Fertility study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Total fertility rate, Socioeconomics, Demographic economics and Externality. His research in the fields of Sex selection overlaps with other disciplines such as Missing women.

His work carried out in the field of Demographic analysis brings together such families of science as Developing country and Population growth. His Developing country research incorporates elements of Fecundity, Fertility Preferences and Abortion. The study incorporates disciplines such as Child mortality and Educational attainment in addition to Family planning.

Between 2014 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • IPBES, 2019. Summary for policymakers of the global assessment report on biodiversity and ecosystem services of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (357 citations)
  • Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C Switzerland: IPCC, 2018. (185 citations)
  • How Many More Missing Women? Excess Female Mortality and Prenatal Sex Selection, 1970–2050 (81 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Family planning
  • Developing country
  • Social science

His primary scientific interests are in Developing country, Demographic analysis, Demography, Fertility and Economic growth. John Bongaarts has included themes like Health survey, Sexual intercourse, Educational attainment and First birth in his Developing country study. His work deals with themes such as Population growth, Development economics and World population, which intersect with Demographic analysis.

His study in Total fertility rate extends to Demography with its themes. The concepts of his Fertility study are interwoven with issues in Fecundity, Abortion and Demographic economics. His work in Economic growth covers topics such as Family planning which are related to areas like Birth rate.
