Alcuni decenni fa, il matrimonio tra le donne nella maggior parte dell'Africa subsahariana poteva ragionevolmente essere descritto come precoce e quasi universale. Tuttavia, in molti Paesi della regione si registra una tendenza a ritardare l'inizio del matrimonio, mentre il matrimonio precoce sta diventando meno diffuso. Questa tendenza è più evidente tra le donne urbane e più istruite. L'aumento dell'età del primo matrimonio, a sua volta, ha giocato un ruolo importante nella transizione della fertilità in corso in alcune parti dell'Africa subsahariana. Questa monografia esamina i modelli di unione delle giovani donne (di età compresa tra i 15 e i 29 anni) in più di due dozzine di Paesi dell'Africa subsahariana, con l'obiettivo di documentare e analizzare l'entità e la natura dei cambiamenti in corso nell'accesso all'unione che si stanno verificando nella regione. Utilizziamo i dati delle indagini demografiche e sanitarie (DHS). Dopo aver esaminato le tendenze del matrimonio, analizziamo i fattori associati a queste tendenze, in particolare l'istruzione e il benessere economico delle donne. Infine, valutiamo il ruolo del calo osservato nelle percentuali di donne unite in matrimonio nel contribuire alla transizione della fertilità in atto nell'Africa subsahariana.

Beginning with a discussion of the problem of autonomy in dynamic psychiatry and a review of its development from infancy to adolescence, the author of Neurotic Styles explores, with numerous clinical examples, the distortion of the development of autonomy in obsessive-compulsive conditions, in sadism and masochism, and, finally, in paranoia.

Several decades ago, marriage among women in most of sub-Saharan Africa could reasonably be described as early and near-universal. However, in many countries in the region there is a trend toward delays in the onset of marriage, with early marriage becoming less prevalent. This trend is most notable among urban and better-educated women. Rising age at first marriage, in turn, has played an important role in the ongoing fertility transition in some parts of sub-Saharan Africa. This monograph examines union patterns of young women (aged 15-29) in more than two dozen countries in sub-Saharan Africa, with the objective of documenting and analyzing the extent and nature of the ongoing changes in entry to union that are taking place in the region. We use data from the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS). After looking at trends in marriage, we analyze factors associated with these trends, most notably women¿s education and economic well-being. Finally, we assess the role of the observed declines in the percentages of women in union in contributing to the fertility transition that is taking place in sub-Saharan Africa.
