%X English Prominent "risk society" theorists such as Giddens and Beck have identifiedrisk as a fundamental organizing principle of contemporary society. Importantly, a major cause of riskawareness and anxiety in modern society is individualism . . a concept Lesthaeghe linked to changes infamily formation. In this regard, of the types of risk discussed in the sociological literature,"interpersonal risks" associated with cohabitation, marriage, and parenting are of obvious salience.This paper explores how the modern "risk society" thesis, and the concept of interpersonal risk couldmaterially contribute to understanding the second demographic transition. French Des theorists connu tells que Giddens et Beck qui promeuvent "la soci¨¦t¨¦ de risqu¨¦" ont identifi¨¦ le risqu¨¦ comme un principe fundamental de l'organisation de la soci¨¦t¨¦ contemporaine. De l'importance est que l'individualisme, ¡­ un concept que Lesthaeghe a reli¨¦ aux changements dans la formation de la famille, est une cause majeuire de la reconnaissance du risqu¨¦ et de l'anxi¨¦t¨¦ dans la soci¨¦t¨¦ moderne. En ce qui concerne le risqu¨¦, de tous les genres de risqu¨¦ discut¨¦s dans la literature sociologique, les risques "interpersonnels" associ¨¦s ¨¤ la cohabitation, le marriage et l'¨¦levement des enfants sont plus communs. Ce papier examine la possibilit¨¦ que l'id¨¦e d'une "soci¨¦t¨¦ de risqu¨¦" moderne, et le concept du risqu¨¦ interpersonnel pourraient contribuer ¨¤ la comprehension de la deuxi¨¦me transition d¨¦mographique.
