The long-standing demographic East-West-divide in Germany
Klüsener, Sebastian; Goldstein, Joshua R. - Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research, Rostock, … - 2012
Over the last decades numerous studies have dealt with demographic differences between the former communist eastern part of Germany and western Germany. Although the demography of these two regions has converged with respect to mortality and overall fertility levels, non-marital births are the...

Levels of recent union formation
Hoem, Jan M.; Gabrielli, Giuseppe; Jasilioniene, Aiva; … - In: Demographic Research 22 (2010) 9, pp. 199-210
We offer a comparison between the age profiles of risks of formation of marital and non-marital unions in Russia, Romania, Poland, Hungary, Bulgaria, and Italy. We show that there is considerable variability across these populations in the level and age pattern of union-entry risks, ranging (i)...

Education and second birth rates in Denmark 1981-1994
Gerster, Mette; Keiding, Niels; Knudsen, Lisbeth B.; … - In: Demographic Research 17 (2007) 8, pp. 181-210
A high educational attainment is shown to have a positive effect on second birth rates for Danish one-child mothers during the period 1981-94. We examine whether a time-squeeze is a possible explanation: due to the longer enrolment in the educational system, highly educated women have less time...

Gendering the family composition: sex preferences for children and childbearing behavior in the Nordic countries
Andersson, Gunnar; Hank, Karsten; Rønsen, Marit; … - Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research, Rostock, … - 2004
It has been argued recently that a society’s ‘gender system’ influences parents’ sex preferences for children. If this was true, one should expect to find no evidence of such preferences in countries with a high level of gender equality. In this paper we exploit population register data...

The impact of union formation dynamics on first births in West Germany and Italy: are there signs of convergence?
Billari, Francesco C.; Kohler, Hans-Peter - Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research, Rostock, … - 2000
In this paper we investigate the changing impact of union formation on the transition to parenthood in West Germany and Italy using FFS data. We first draw attention to overall cohort patterns in union formation and first births and then describe the mutual relationships between union formation,...

Welfare state context, female earnings and childbearing
Andersson, Gunnar; Kreyenfeld, Michaela; Mika, Tatjana - Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research, Rostock, … - 2009
This paper investigates the role of female earnings in childbearing decisions in two very different European contexts. By applying event history techniques to German and Danish register data during 1981-2001, we demonstrate how female earnings relate to first, second and third birth rates. Our...

Is Poland really 'immune' to the spread of cohabitation?
Matysiak, Anna - In: Demographic Research 21 (2009) 8, pp. 215-234
Various data have constantly pointed out a low incidence of non-marital unions in Poland (at 1.4-4.9% among all unions). In this paper we demonstrate that these data, coming exclusively from cross-sectional surveys, clearly underestimate the scale of the phenomenon. By exploiting data on...

The Fertility Pattern of Twins and the General Population Compared: Evidence from Danish Cohorts 1945-64
Kohler, Hans-Peter; Knudsen, Lisbeth B.; Skytthe, Axel; … - In: Demographic Research 6 (2002) 14, pp. 383-408
Twin studies provide an important possibility for demographers to analyze patterns of heritability and to estimate structural models with controls for endowments. These possibilities are increasingly used in the context of fertility and related behaviors. A close congruence between the fertility...
