The third issue of the Vienna Yearbook of Population Research examines critical issues in demography, especially fertility and ageing. The debate section focuses on the potential impact of population ageing on economic productivity and presents contrasting perspectives. The original articles cover topics as diverse as the narrowing gender gap in life expectancy in Canada and Austria, the relationship between social capital and fertility in Bulgaria, and factors influencing later childbearing in France. Fertility trends in Austria are analysed in detail, including differences by educational attainment and urban-rural areas. Further articles consider the fiscal implications of an ageing population in Austria and whether ageing necessarily leads to an increase in the prevalence of disability. The issue concludes with an overview of recent demographic and fertility trends in Austria.

The second issue of the Vienna Yearbook of Population Research covers a wide range of topics in demography, offering both theoretical debates and empirical studies. The demographic debates focus on the concept of the second demographic transition, with perspectives from various scholars on its usefulness and limitations as a research framework. The original articles examine fertility trends, including Austria's demographic past and future and innovative approaches to fertility measurement, the role of education in shaping union formation in Central and Eastern Europe and the intergenerational transmission of education in Austria through microsimulations. The issue also highlights environmental and social challenges, such as the interplay between demographic trends, migration and land use patterns, and the dynamics of food security and land degradation in sub-Saharan Africa. The issue closes with a study on Austrian scholar and fiction writer Rudolf Goldscheid, focusing on his concept of the Economy of Human Beings.
