Changes in Employment Uncertainty and the Fertility Intention-Realization Link: An Analysis Based on the Swiss Household Panel.
How do changes in employment uncertainty matter for fertility? Empirical studies on the impact of employment uncertainty on reproductive decision-making offer a variety of conclusions, ranging from gender and socio-economic differences in the effect of employment uncertainty on fertility intentions and behaviour, to the effect of employment on changes in fertility intentions. This article analyses the association between a change in subjective employment uncertainty and fertility intentions and behaviour by distinguishing male and female partners' employment uncertainty, and examines the variation in these associations by education. Using a sample of men and women living in a couple from the Swiss Household Panel (SHP 2002-2011), we examine through multinomial analysis how changes in employment uncertainty and selected socio-demographic factors are related to individual childbearing decisions. Our results show strong gendered effects of changes in employment uncertainty on the revision of reproductive decisions among the highly educated population
Religious socialisation and fertility: transition to third birth in the Netherlands
Although previous studies have demonstrated that religious people in Europe have larger families, the role played by religious socialisation in the context of contemporary fertility behaviour has not yet been analysed in detail. This contribution specifically looks at the interrelation between religious socialisation and current religiosity and their impact on the transition to the third child for Dutch women. It is based on data of the first wave of the Netherlands Kinship Panel Study (2002â2004) and uses event history analysis. The transitions to first, second and third birth are modelled jointly with a control for unobserved heterogeneity. The findings provide evidence for an impact of womenâs current church attendance as well as religious socialisation measured by their fathersâ religious affiliation, when they were teenagers. A religious family background remains influential even when a woman has stopped attending church. The effects of religious indicators strengthen over cohorts. Moreover, the combined religious make-up of the respondentâs parents also significantly determines the progression to the third child.Sâil est bien Ă©tabli que les croyants en Europe ont plus dâenfants que les autres, le rĂŽle de la socialisation religieuse dans le contexte de la fĂ©conditĂ© contemporaine nâa pas encore Ă©tĂ© analysĂ© Ă ce jour. Cette Ă©tude sâintĂ©resse au lien entre la socialisation religieuse et la religiositĂ© actuelle, et Ă leur impact sur la probabilitĂ© dâagrandissement de deux Ă trois enfants de la descendance des femmes nĂ©erlandaises. Les donnĂ©es exploitĂ©es sont celles de la premiĂšre vague du Panel NĂ©erlandais dâEtude de la ParentĂ© (the Netherlands Kinship Panel Study, 2002â2004). A lâaide des techniques de lâanalyse des biographies, les probabilitĂ©s dâagrandissement de rang 1, rang 2 et rang 3 ont Ă©tĂ© modĂ©lisĂ©es de façon conjointe, en contrĂŽlant lâhĂ©tĂ©rogĂ©nĂ©itĂ© non observĂ©e. Les rĂ©sultats mettent en Ă©vidence lâimpact de la frĂ©quentation actuelle de lâĂ©glise par les femmes et de leur socialisation religieuse, mesurĂ©e par lâappartenance religieuse de leur pĂšre quand elles Ă©taient adolescentes. Il apparaĂźt que la religiositĂ© du contexte familial exerce une influence, mĂȘme quand la femme ne frĂ©quente plus lâĂ©glise, et que les effets des indicateurs de pratique religieuse se renforcent dâune gĂ©nĂ©ration Ă lâautre. Enfin, lâappartenance religieuse conjointe des parents de la femme dĂ©termine significativement la probabilitĂ© dâavoir un troisiĂšme enfant
Lâeffet des intentions et des comportements concurrents sur les intentions de procrĂ©ation Ă court terme et la procrĂ©ation ultĂ©rieure
Fertility Ideals of Women and Men Across the Life Course
This paper explores the stability of womenâs and menâs fertility preferences across the life course. The data come from the first six waves of the German Family Panel (pairfam), which span the period from 2008/2009 until 2013/2014. In our analysis, fertility preferences are measured using the following question: âUnder ideal circumstances, how many children would you like to have?â The average number cited by both women and men is 2.2. With rising age, this number declines modestly. Relying on fixed-effects modelling, we find that neither partnership status nor economic circumstances have any causal effect on fertility preferences. However, as the number of children a respondent has increases, his or her ideal number of children is also likely to grow. Thus, fertility ideals appear to undergo changes over time, and are adjusted in line with the size of the respondentâs own family
