Joop Garssen and Anouschka van der MeulenPerinatal mortality rates have dropped sharply in the past few decades, in the Netherlands as well as in all other European countries. However, as the decrease has generally slowed down since the 1980s, the Netherlands has lost its prominent position in the international ranking of countries with favourable perinatal mortality rates. This lower ranking is not only the result of the dialectics of progress, but also the consequence of a relatively restrained use of antenatal diagnostics. In addition, the Netherlands is among the European countries scoring highest on a number of important risk factors. This article examines the effect on perinatal mortality rates of known risk factors, in particular the presence of non-western foreigners, multiple births and older mothers.

Joop Garssen, Vivian Bos, Anton Kunst en Anouschka van der MeulenPaper for the European Population Conference, Warsaw, 26-30 August 2003.For most ages, non-western foreigners in the Netherlands have a higher mortality risk than native Dutch people. For infants the risk is 35 percent higher. Young children with a non-western background have higher mortality risks from both external and natural causes. Among foreigners aged 15-29 years a large part of mortality is from non-natural causes, with above average rates of murder/manslaughter and suicide. In the past decades the mortality risk among adult Turkish men has developed unfavourably. Their risk of dying from cardiovascular diseases or cancer, especially lung cancer, is relatively high. By contrast, Moroccan men aged 35 and older have a considerably lower mortality risk. Their risk of dying from cardiovascular disease in their forties, fifties or sixties, is only half that for native Dutch men. Their mortality risk with respect to lung cancer is also much smaller.

Dorien Manting & Anneke LoeveRevised version of a paper presented at the workshop of the European Research Network on Divorce Tilburg University, Tilburg, The Netherlands, November 13-15, 2003.This working paper investigates the role of economic determinants in the dissolution of recently formed marital and non-marital unions in the Netherlands. The economic determinants studied are women's and men's personal income, women's and men's socio-economic position and the contribution of women's income in the total household income. The discrete-time event history analyses cover the dissolution of cohabiting and married unions formed between 1989 and 1999. Longitudinal data from Statistics Netherlands' Income Panel Survey 1989-2000 are used.
