The Gendered Division of Sterilization 'Fertility Work
Drawing on data from the 2006 to 2010 and 2011 to 2013 rounds of the National Survey of Family Growth, this study examines the division of sterilization 'fertility work' among couples who have completed intended childbearing. Results show that use of female versus male sterilization varies by couples' racial/ethnic composition, but not by couples' educational composition. Couples in which the man is non-Hispanic White and the woman is of minority…

This explanation lacks empirical support, as psychology studies have not confirmed the link between heterogamy and cultural differences, whereas sociological studies have been characterized by problems related to the choice and measurement of cultural differences. Progressing from previous researc…

Based on the analysis of data concerning the Turkish and Moroccan minorities in Belgium, it has been confirmed that the d…
