A review of recent research that refers to “intersectionality,” published in 10 English-language demographic journals, suggests that choosing the ‘right’ modeling strategy may be less important than engaging more explicitly with the framework and its foundations in Black feminism.
More recently, quantitative social scientists have proposed a range of strategies to incorporate intersectional insights: from intersectional dummy variables and stratified models to multilevel approaches, latent variables, and classification trees.
The cross-disciplinary travels of intersectionality have drawn considerable commentary, both positive and negative. Initially, the framework, especially its focus on intersecting social positions and their relations to systems of power, was seen as better suited for qualitative research.

The survey, entitled “Mon quartier, mes voisins” [My neighborhood, my neighbors], has studied those relations at different scales.

Why is fertility measured by number of children women have and only seldom by the number men have?
The fact is that measuring women’s fertility rather than men’s is not a neutral choice because men and women do not have the same number of children.
