Forced Migration, Fertility and Reproductive Health: A Review

چکیده
The paper reviews research on forced migration and fertility, identifies problems and challenges in this research and present suggestions for future research avenues and priorities. It starts with a critical examination of the definitional ambiguities that hamper and constrain research on forced migration and fertility, then outlines the current state of the field, and offers suggestions on how the field could be advanced by critically incorporating theoretical paradigms and models applied in studies of the association between voluntary migration and childbearing and accounting for both the changing nature of forced migration and the changing global fertility landscape. It concludes with a discussion of possible directions for research in the area of forced migrants’ reproductive health.
