Post-Migration Fertility in Southern Europe: Romanian and Moroccan women in Italy and Spain
Full text linkThis paper seeks to analyse migrant women’s reproductive behaviour in two countries with the lowest fertility rates, namely, Italy and Spain. We assess differences in migrant fertility patterns according to country of origin by comparing the post-migration motherhood of Moroccan and Romanian women.
We have used data from the “2007 National Immigrant Survey” (INE) and the ”2011-2012 Survey on Social Integration and Condition among Foreign Citizens” (ISTAT) to adopt an event-history approach to the factors that affect the birth of the first child after migration. Specifically, we focus on marital status upon arrival and on the number of previous children, controlling in turn for the women’s socioeconomic circumstances.
The results show, firstly, that Moroccan women have a higher fertility rate than Romanians in both countries. Secondly, the risk of the first birth shortly after migration is higher among childless and married women, and this probability remain high even for women from Morocco with children. Thirdly a cross-country comparison reveals that the results related to childbearing patterns are similar

Full text linkEspaña ha pasado en poco más de una década de ser un país de emigración a convertirse en uno de los principales receptores de población extranjera de la Unión Europea. En la actualidad según los datos del Instituto Nacional de Estadística la población inmigrante representa más del 12% de la población total en España, con más de 5,6 millones de personas. Dentro de la variedad de nacionalidades que componen el actual stock de inmigrantes, los latinoamericanos representan más de un tercio del total, convirtiéndose España en la última década en el segundo destino para la población emigrante latinoamericana tras los Estados Unidos. </p
Determinants and consequences of internal and international migration
Full text linkThis paper analyzes the current migration in rural population in the south of Veracruz state (Mexico). We identify three different spaces of migration, traditional markets, the northern border and the United States. Applying a multinomial logistic model and taking into account individual, family, and local characteristics of the migrants, we find different determinants in each space. These determinants are related to the objectives, needs and means of the migrants and their families. Otherwise, each space involves different consequences to the family in terms of the relationships between migrants and the rest of their relatives.consequences, determinants, family, intergenerational relations, internal migration, international migration, Mexico, migration, reproduction, rural population

La primera migración laboral en las poblaciones rurales del sur de Veracruz, México
No full textEl objetivo de este trabajo es analizar los determinantes que han afectado a la primera migración laboral de las poblaciones rurales situadas en el sur del estado de Veracruz. Utilizando la Encuesta sobre Movilidad y Reproducción Social en la Región del Sotavento (Moreso) realizada en 1999 se ha aplicado un modelo de supervivencia en tiempo discreto a tres generaciones de hombres: nacidos antes de 1950, nacidos entre 1950 y 1969 y nacidos a partir de 1970. Los resultados señalan diferentes riesgos y determinantes para cada una de las generaciones como consecuencia del cambiante contexto laboral en la región y en particular, de la disponibilidad de tierra agrícola
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
