The EAPS Working Group on Differentials in Health, Morbidity and Mortality in Europe organised its fifth seminar in Pontignano, Italy. The seminar was arranged in collaboration with the Università degli Studi di Siena, the Facoltà di Scienze Politiche and Dipartimento di Studi Aziendali e Sociali (Prof.ssa Cinzia Buccianti). The purpose of the seminar was to discuss problems dealing with the analysis and explanation of trends in differentials in health, morbidity and mortality.

This seminar was organized by the IUSSP Committee on Gender and population in collaboration with ISTAT (Italian National Statistical Institute) and the University of Rome ‘La Sapienza’ under the auspices of EAPS. The aim of the Seminar was to examine a) women's changing position and participation in the labour market in the context of major economic and labour market changes, b) how demographic conditions favour or hinder these changes in the labour market, and c) the demographic consequences of these major economic and labour market changes.

The University of Sassari and the Italian, French and Spanish Societies for Historical Demography (Università  degli Studi di Sassari, Società  Italiana di Demografia Storica, Société de Démographie Historique, and Asociación de Demografí­a Histórica) jointly organized an international seminar on Health and disease in the Mediterranean European countries between the 18th and 20th century.
