Image 29/08/2015 Population Europe Inter-Faces: Tomáš Sobotka Interview with Tomáš Sobotka (Vienna Institute of Demography) on fertility in times of crisis. Questions: 1. We want to have children, but given the current economic crisis, we are not sure whether it is a good time right now. Do other people worry about the crisis when planning their families, and what are the effects? 2. Does it make a difference to family planning in times of economic crisis what kind of job people have? 3. Are there factors like family support, social networks or the infamous “biological clock” that are helping to overcome these worries? Read more about Population Europe Inter-Faces: Tomáš Sobotka

Image 05/11/2014 ¿Quién lo vuelve a hacer? Análisis comparativo de la relación entre educación y segundos nacimientos en Europa La fecundidad europea se caracteriza por las considerables diferencias entre países. Estas desigualdades se deben principalmente a las disparidades que se producen en las tasas de nacimientos del segundo (y tercer) hijo, y no tanto a las proporciones de personas que no tienen hijos. Las oportunidades y las restricciones que influyen en las decisiones sobre el tamaño de la familia están estrechamente vinculadas al nivel educativo. Read more about ¿Quién lo vuelve a hacer?
Image 05/11/2014 Qui recommence ? Variations dans l’association entre niveau d’enseignement et naissance d’un deuxième enfant en Europe : analyse comparée basée sur les données provenant de SILC En Europe, la fécondité est caractérisée par des contrastes mesurables entre les pays. Ces différences ne sont pas dues au fait que certains couples n’aient pas d’enfant, mais elles ont plutôt pour origine les variations dans les taux de naissance d’un deuxième (et troisième) enfant. Les opportunités et les contraintes qui influencent ces décisions sont étroitement liées au niveau d’enseignement. Des preuves récentes suggèrent que le comportement des femmes disposant d’un niveau d’études élevé peut même être relié au niveau de fécondité global. Read more about Qui recommence ?
Image 05/11/2014 Wer tut's wieder? Unterschiedlicher Einfluss des Bildungstandes auf Zweitgeburten in Europa: eine Vergleichsanalyse anhand der EU-SILC-Daten Die Geburtenraten in Europa sind durch beträchtliche Unterschiede zwischen den Staaten gekennzeichnet. Diese Unterschiede beruhen nicht auf einem unterschiedlichen Niveau der Kinderlosigkeit, sondern werden vielmehr durch unterschiedliche Zweit- (und Dritt-) Geburtenraten verursacht. Möglichkeiten und Hürden, die die Entscheidungen über die Familiengröße beeinflussen, stehen in enger Beziehung zu Bildungsabschlüssen. Read more about Wer tut's wieder?
Image 05/11/2014 Who Is Doing It Again Varying association between education and second births in Europe: Comparative analysis based on the EU-SILC data Fertility in Europe is characterised by sizeable contrasts between countries. These differences are not due to different levels of childlessness, but rather caused by variation in second (and third) birth rates. Opportunities and constraints that influence decisions about family size are closely linked to educational attainment. Recent evidence suggests that the behaviour of women with high education may even be related to overall fertility levels: In countries with relatively high transitions to second births, the total fertility rates tend to be higher.

Image 27/02/14 The Fertility Gap In Europe: Singularities Of The Spanish Case Abstract and Download Details Since the second half of the 20th century, the decline in fertility has been a constant in practically all advanced societies. This study increases our understanding of the multidimensional character of this phemomenon, addressing educational and labour market factors, the impact of public policies, the transformation of gender roles and new family configurations. Spain is the object of this in depth analysis because it exhibits behaviour that deviates from other cases of low fertility.
