The journal Space Populations Societies is calling for papers on "The Diversity and Dynamics of Low Fertility". The deadline for submission proposals (extended abstract of 1-2 pages) is 30 May 2026. Abstract and article may be submitted in English or French. 

NB. The journal Space Populations Societies publishes special issues and standard articles (out of special issues). Please do not hesitate to submit your manuscript.

Guidelines for articles:
- Articles may be submitted in English or French. 
- To fit within the scope of the journal, articles must address one of the above themes through their spatial and/or social dimension. 
- Articles may be empirical, or they may offer theoretical reflections or address methodological issues. 
- Today’s low fertility rates are not merely a cyclical phenomenon. They are also part of a long-term trend. Furthermore, other historical periods have also been characterised by low fertility, delayed childbearing and a rejection of children. The current situation can be examined in light of past periods. Articles may adopt a historical and comparative perspective. 
- All spatial scales are welcome, including intra-urban, regional, sub-national and international. 
- Since low fertility is not exclusive to Northern countries, articles may focus on populations from any region of the world.
