The French pill scare: towards a new contraceptive model?
Nathalie Bajos, Mylène Rouzaud-Cornabas, Henri Panjo, Aline Bohet, Caroline Moreau and the Fecond team
A major controversy arose around third- and fourth-generation pills
in late 2012 and early 2013, which led to the end of their reimbursement
by the French national health insurance system in March 2013. What
were the consequences of the controversy for the contraceptive model
in France? Analysing the Fecond survey, carried out a few months
later, the authors examine recent changes in contraceptive practices
and the contribution of the media debate to these changes.

Family policy in France and Europe : recent changes and effects of the crisis
Olivier Thévenon, Willem Adema, Nabil Ali
Family policies are central to the well-being of individuals in
Europe, but they differ substantially across countries. Drawing
on the OECD Social Expenditure database (SOCX), Olivier Thévenon,
Willem Adema and Nabil Ali describe the different policies in European
countries to support families with children. They examine the modalities
and the size of social spending on family benefits (expressed as
a proportion of GDP), and consider how they have changed recently
in response to the economic crisis.

Unsafe abortion still frequent across the world but less often fatal
Clémentine Rossier
The number of induced abortions worldwide has barely fallen in
recent years, and half of them are performed illegally. Yet the
number of abortion-related deaths has declined substantially over
the last two decades. Clémentine Rossier provides an overview
of unsafe abortion across the world, and explains the reasons for
this paradox.

Who are the children enrolled in French daycare centres?
Nathalie Le Bouteillec, Lamia Kandil, Anne Solaz
Daycare centres are very popular among parents of young children
in France, yet in 2011 only 16% of preschoolers aged below 3 had
a place. Beyond the fact that demand far outstrips supply, are some
children, such as those from disadvantaged families, more likely
to get a place than others? Analysing data from the 2011 family
and housing survey (Famille et Logements), Nathalie Le Bouteillec,
Lamia Kandil and Anne Solaz examine the profiles of the children
who attend these centres.

From Europe to Africa: Return migration to Senegal and the DRC
Marie-Laurence Flahaux, Cris Beauchemin, Bruno Schoumaker
In Europe, it is often assumed that African immigrants intend to
settle permanently in the host country. Is this really the case?
Do migrants only return home when they are encouraged or forced
to do so by the authorities? Using data from the MAFE research programme
(Migrations between Africa and Europe), Marie-Laurence Flahaux,
Cris Beauchemin and Bruno Schoumaker analyse the factors behind
the return migration of Senegalese and Congolese migrants leaving
Europe.

Discrimination against people living with HIV infection in metropolitan France
Élise Marsicano, Rosemary Dray-Spira, France Lert, Christine Hamelin and the ANRS-VESPA2 group
In France, people living with HIV infection are treated with antiretroviral
drugs to control the disease, so they should be able to lead normal
lives. This is not always the case, however. Drawing on a national
representative survey conducted in 2011, Élise Marsicano, Rosemary
Dray-Spira, France Lert and Christine Hamelin describe the discrimination
to which HIV infected people are exposed, be it in the workplace,
in health care settings or in the family, and distinguish between
the various reasons for unfair treatment (linked to their HIV status
or other factors).

A demographic perspective on gender inequality
Christelle Hamel, Wilfried Rault, l’unité de recherche Démographie, genre et sociétés
Recent decades have seen major advances in gender equality. Are
men and women now truly equal? The research conducted by INED’s
Demography, Gender and Societies research unit confirms that much
has been accomplished, but that the road ahead remains long.
