Partners’ Educational Pairings, Work Divisions, and Fertility: Evidence from Germany
No full textThe relationship between education and fertility among individuals systematically varies by the education of the partner, according to previous research. For example, couples with two highly educated partners seem to have an accelerated transition to second births, compared to couples with one highly educated partner only, at least in some countries. However, little is known about the underlying mechanisms which may drive this phenomenon. Bringing together the literature on the education-fertility nexus and on associations between men’s involvement with domestic work and fertility, this study investigates the role of gendered domestic work divisions for the educational pairing-fertility relationship in couples. Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel, cox regression, and a cohort approach, findings confirm educational pairing effects; hypergamous couples have higher first birth rates in the birth cohorts 1950-1965 and 1966-75, while highly educated homogamous couples display the highest second birth rates in all examined birth cohorts (1950-65, 1966-75, 1976-85). While educational pairing effects for first births are largely mediated by paid and unpaid work divisions, this is not the case for second births. Here, positive effects of increases in his time spent with housework are independent of the educational pairing effect, warranting future exploration into additional mechanisms

No full textIn contrast to most other low-fertility regions, the fall in period fertility to sub-replacement level in Latin America was not accompanied by a sharp decline in fertility rates at young reproductive ages. Reconstructing period fertility rates by age, birth order and level of education, we investigate changes in the age pattern of childbearing in four Latin American countries that experienced a decline in period total fertility rates below the replacement level in the early 2000s—Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica and Uruguay. Our analysis shows that all the four countries display a combination of continuing high rates of childbearing at younger ages with a parallel increase in first birth rates at later reproductive ages. This pattern is also manifested by the emergence of bimodal schedules of first birth rates by age, especially in Chile and Uruguay. We show that this reproductive polarization is more pronounced than the bimodal profiles identified earlier for selected countries of Europe and the United States. We suggest that Latin American low fertility pattern is linked to a high level of income inequality and wide social status differences in the region that go hand in hand with a high rate of unplanned early pregnancies and births, especially among women with lower education
Die Zukunft der evangelischen Kirche: Prognosen für Österreich sowie für das Burgenland, Kärnten und Wien
No full textIn Anlehnung an den Bericht von Goujon, Jurasszovich und Potančoková (2017), der die Bevölkerung von Wien und Österreich nach Religionszugehörigkeit für den Zeitraum 2001– 2016 schätzte, sowie an ein früheres Projekt von Fliegenschnee, Goujon und Lutz (2004), das sich mit der Zukunft der evangelischen Kirche bis 2031 beschäftigte, soll dieses Projekt anhand der neuesten Daten für ganz Österreich und die drei Bundesländer Burgenland, Kärnten und Wien aktualisiert werden. Ziel der vorliegenden Studie soll es sein, die Frage nach den möglichen Auswirkungen der Demographie (insbesondere Fertilität und Migration) und dem Trend zum Religionsaustritt auf die künftigen Mitgliederzahlen der evangelischen Kirche zu beantworten
