Reproductive disruptions in fertility research
The risks of infertility and pregnancy loss have been growing as women’s ages at birth have been increasing. This raises the question of how such adverse reproductive experiences (ARE) are associated with birth outcomes. We propose an analytical framework to re-integrate infertility, miscarriage and abortion into the demographic study of fertility. It reconnects to the classic framework on the proximate fertility determinants by Davis and Blake a…
The Affective Well-Being of Ukrainian Refugees in Germany
As a result of the Russo-Ukrainian war, several million Ukrainians fled, more than one million to Germany. Until now, most studies on mental health of Ukrainian refugees are cross-sectional and there is a clear need to observe their well-being. We employed five waves of the IAB-BiB/FReDA-BAMF-SOEP (later BiB/FReDA) Survey on Ukrainian Refugees in Germany analyzing affective balance, starting shortly after flight in summer 2022. By observing the t…
He said, she said
BACKGROUNDEstimating infertility prevalence at the population level is challenging and little is known about the factors that influence how individuals report it. OBJECTIVEWe assess whether third-party presence, such as that of a partner, influences the likelihood of reporting infertility among a sample of heterosexual couples.We also examine the consistency of responses between partners interviewed separately and evaluate whether third-party pre…
Gendered Migration Patterns and Fertility Among Refugees En Route
Gender patterns in migration processes and in migrant fertility are a growing research field. We contribute to this literature by examining refugees, an understudied group in demographic research. Our theoretical framework is informed by theories of migrant fertility and migration processes. Using data from the 2020 survey ‘Forced Migration and Transnational Family Arrangements—Eritrean and Syrian Refugees in Germany’ (TransFAR), we conduct seque…
Infertility and Seeking Medical Help to Have a Child Vary Across Migrant Origin Groups in Germany
This study investigates the extent to which immigrants in Germany are faced with infertility, and it examines their use of reproductive health-care services. Previous research on migrant fertility centered mostly on the higher fertility rates of immigrants and their adaptation processes, but has largely neglected infertility. At the same time, research on infertility in the European low-fertility context has focused almost exclusively on non-migr…
Generational changes in self-reported infertility among migrants in Australia
Knowledge about the perinatal and reproductive health of international migrants remains limited due to their marginalization in health and social-epidemiological research. We address this gap by analysing the prevalence of self-reported infertility among three migrant generations, migrants from different regions of origin, and comparing it to the majority of third-generation plus in Australia. We examine whether infertility risk differs across th…
Is part-time employment a temporary ‘stepping stone’ or a lasting ‘mommy track’? Legislation and mothers’ transition to full-time employment in Germany
Research on reconciling family and employment debates if maternal part-time employment works as ‘stepping stone’ to full-time employment or as gateway to a long-term ‘mommy track’. We analyse how mothers’ transition from part-time to full-time employment is shaped by changing reconciliation legislations and how this is moderated by reconciliation-relevant factors like individual behaviours and macro conditions. We extend the literature on work–fa…
Migration, Partner Selection, and Fertility in Germany
For the German context, we investigate whether the number of children ever born differs between mixed unions (exogamous unions between natives and migrants or migrant descendants) and endogamous unions (unions among co-ethnics). Our theoretical considerations are derived from assimilation theories, which view exogamous unions as indicators of assimilation processes, and the framework on migrant fertility. The migrant (or descendant) partner in an…
Introduction
This paper is the introduction to the Special Issue on “Fertility and social inequalities in migrant populations.” The Special Issue contains twelve empirical papers that deal with both international migrants and internal migrants, both women and men, both older migrant populations spanning several generations as well as recent immigrant groups, such as refugees, and include analyses of both behavior and intentions. The data used comprise macro i…
Gendered flight constellations and family-reunion intentions of female refugees from Ukraine
Since the outbreak of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, about one million people have fled to Germany in 2022. Due to the gender-specific policies for staying and leaving Ukraine, the socio-demographic composition of the refugees differs markedly from previous refugee migrations to Western Europe and from forms of voluntary migration. In particular, it stands out that about three quarters of the adult refugees arriving in Germany were women. Our p…
Forced migration to Germany
The rapidly increasing numbers of refugees and asylum seekers in Europe since 2014 have given the topic of refugee migration heightened public and scholarly attention. Starting from the observation that the legal status and rights of refugees from Ukraine differ markedly from those from Syria and other Middle Eastern and North African countries, this special issue inquires about external and internal bordering processes, as well as the lived expe…

Fertility Behavior of Turkish Migrant Men in Europe Compared to Stayers at Origin
This paper addresses the fertility behavior of Turkish men in Europe from a context of origin perspective. Men of the first and subsequent migrant generations are compared with “stayers” from the same regions of origin in Turkey. We pay special attention to the men’s reasons for migration by distinguishing between work and nonwork motivations for migration. We use data from the 2000 Families Study, which was conducted in 2010 and 2011 in Turkey a…
Ukrainian Refugees in Germany
This study describes the first wave of the IAB-BiB/FReDA-BAMF-SOEP Survey on Ukrainian Refugees in Germany, a unique panel dataset based on over 11,000 interviews conducted between August and October 2022. The aim of the IAB-BiB/FReDA-BAMF-SOEP Survey is to provide a data-infrastructure for theory-driven and evidence-based research on various aspects of integration among Ukrainian refugees in Germany, the second most important destination country…
At risk of reproductive disadvantage? Exploring fertility awareness among migrant women in Germany
This study examined awareness about fertility among immigrant women and non-migrants in Germany. The social relevance of infertility and fertility treatment is increasing in Western countries due to continually low overall birth rates, a high rate of childlessness, and a gap between the desired and actual numbers of children. While there is growing interest in infertility and reproductive medicine in general, previous studies have rarely included…
Crossing Social Boundaries in an Immigration Context
We study gendered employment patterns in unions by focusing on the role of exogamy for non-migrants in Germany. Classical assimilation theory has studied such mixed migrant-non-migrant unions mainly with a focus on the members of ethnic minorities. However, this perspective neglects the question of the social consequences of exogamy for the members of the majority group. We aim to fill this knowledge gap by investigating the association of being …
Attitudes toward Abortion for Medical and Non-medical Reasons among the Turkish Second Generation in Europe – The Role of the Family and Societal Contexts
This paper studies attitudes toward abortion among the second generation of Turkish migrants and their native counterparts in six western and northern European countries. We focus on Turkish migrants because they not only constitute one of the largest immigrant groups, but are also hypothesised to be culturally and demographically very distinctive from the native group. We used data from the project on “The Integration of the European Second Gene…
Women’s Attitudes toward Assisted Reproductive Technologies – A Pilot Study among Migrant Minorities and Non-migrants in Germany
This study examines attitudes toward assisted reproductive technologies (ART) among immigrant women and non-migrants in Germany. The social relevance of ART is increasing in Western countries due to overall low birth rates, a high rate of childlessness, and a gap between the desired and the actual numbers of children. Previous literature has been scarce, however, on attitudes toward ART, and immigrant minorities have rarely been included in studi…

Is there an association between marital exogamy of immigrants and nonmigrants and their mental health? A two-partners approach
We study mental health in immigrants and nonmigrants, distinguishing between people in exogamous and endogamous marriages. Our theoretical considerations are based on concepts of the economics of marriage, resources, and conflict. We test two competing hyp
Attitudes toward Abortion among the Muslim Minority and Non-Muslim Majority in Cross-National Perspective
What are the attitudes of Europeans with or without immigrant backgrounds toward abortion? Who opposes or approves of the practice? To investigate these questions, we draw on the EURISLAM survey, which gathered data on nonmigrants and non-Muslims (majority) in Belgium, Britain, France, Germany, and Switzerland as well as on Muslim minorities of immigrant origin (from Morocco, Turkey, Pakistan, and the former Yugoslavia) who are resident in these …

The Importance of a Religious Funeral Ceremony Among Turkish Migrants and Their Descendants in Germany
Our paper analyses the attitudes of Turkish migrants and their descendants in Germany regarding the importance of a religious funeral ceremony. Previous research provides competing hypotheses on the intergenerational transmission of religiosity in migrant communities, such as, declines in religiosity due to assimilation versus maintenance of religiosity as a means to ethnic identity formation. Quantitative research however has not yet considered …

Too Low or Too High? On Birthweight Differentials of Immigrants in Germany
Our paper compares the birth outcomes of international migrant women in Germany to those of non-migrant women. In Germany, about one-third of all newborns are born to migrant mothers. Since immigrant status and socio-economic disadvantages are highly correlated, the health of migrant children and their mothers has received increasing attention in the international literature. When investigating perinatal outcomes, the evidence on the effect of th…

Union Formation and Partner Choice in a Transnational Context
This paper examines the transition to a first union of descendants of Turkish immigrants in France. We use data from the project The Integration of the European Second Generation, 2007, and apply event-history techniques. We find that descendants of Turkish immigrants who grew up in France enter a first union earlier and more often in a direct marriage than do young adults without an immigrant background. We then describe the type of union in mor…

Fertility of Immigrants
In 2007, population growth in Europe (EU-27) amounted to 2.6 million persons, comprising a net increase of 2.1 million persons resulting from migra-tion and an increase of 0.5 million due to natural growth (Eurostat 2010). The limited share of natural increase in population growth is related to Europe’s fertility rates being persistently low in recent years (ranging from 1.45 in 2002 to 1.55 in 2007). As a result, net migration has become the mai…

Monitoring of German Fertility
This paper introduces a set of methods for estimating fertility indicators in the absence of recent and short-term birth statistics.

The method for estimating most current fertility rates can be applied when no information on the age st…
