Childbearing Motivations and Fertility Desires
Understanding the motivations that underpin fertility decision-making can shed light on why people in low-fertility countries are increasingly having fewer or no children. Using data from the 2020 Norwegian Generations and Gender Survey, we examine 3,024 people of childbearing age and their childbearing motivations. We find that the childbearing motivations receiving the highest ratings are lifelong joy, fulfilling parental instinct, and the sati…
Human values behind intensive parenting
Intensive parenting (IP) is a contemporary parenting norm that emphasizes investing in children for their optimal growth and often strains parental resources. It demands centering family life around children and providing them with stimulating environments. Previous studies predominantly link IP to socioeconomic factors, overlooking its psychological determinants. Our research explores how support for IP is tied to individuals’ value systems. We …
The future is unstable”
While studies conducted at the beginning of the pandemic found that fertility intentions became more anti-natal, we found little overall change in fertility intentions in January 2021. Our findings of small pro-natal and anti-natal changes in fertility intentions align with emerging UK birth rate data for 2021, which show minimal change in the total fertility rate in response to the pandemic
The quality of fertility data in the web-based Generations and Gender Survey
The Generations and Gender Survey (GGS) enables investigating family-related events from a life course perspective. After its first round of face-to-face implementation, various factors resulted in the second round being implemented on the web. Despite its
Things to Gain, Things to Lose
A rapid fertility decline observed in Poland since the 1990s has been accompanied by a marked increase in childlessness. This may seem surprising given the high value placed on parenthood in the country. Some evidence exists on how childlessness in Poland relates to biological and situational constraints, but still relatively little is known about how the decision to never have children is made, especially among men. This article contributes to t…
Childbearing motivation at the onset of emerging adulthood
Teenagers’ motivations and desires related to parenthood are important for their reproductive behavior in their teens and also constitute the origin of their future childbearing choices. The study investigates which perceived consequences of childbearing are the strongest predictors of desire to have children in the future, among late teens, at the onset of emerging adulthood. In a sample of 1803 Polish men and women (ages 18–20), their desire fo…
Life-Course Trajectories of Childless Women
While existing research has documented complexities in biographies of childless women, few studies to date have systematically examined the life-course pathways of the childless from a comparative, cross-country perspective. In this paper, we analyse biographies of childless women in four countries—Germany, Italy, Poland, and the United States—in order to investigate whether pathways into childlessness are country-specific or commonly shared acro…
Do costs and benefits of children matter for religious people? Perceived consequences of parenthood and fertility intentions in Poland
The aim of this study was to examine the positive relationship between religiosity and fertility from the perspective of perceived consequences of parenthood. Previous studies in Germany have found that highly religious people ascribe higher benefits and lower costs to having children. Furthermore, the impact of costs and benefits on fertility is less pronounced among the highly religious. This study tested these mechanisms for fertility intentio…
Religiosity and Fertility Intentions
Research on the relationship between religiosity and fertility intentions revealed substantial cross-national differences. In some countries, a strong and positive effect of religiosity on fertility intentions was found, while in others, the effect was weaker or not significant, and the reasons underlying these cross-national differences are still unclear. The aim of this article is to explain these macro-level differences from the perspective of…
Exploring the concept of intensive parenting in a three-country study
In recent decades there has been growing interest in the concept of intensive parenting. However, the literature is mostly qualitative and based on Anglo-Saxon countries. This raises the question of how best to operationalise the concept in a wider cross-n
Fertility Desires of Childless Poles
In modern societies, a growing number of people choose to remain childless. As childlessness has fundamental consequences for individuals and societies, it is of paramount importance to understand this choice. We investigate which childbearing motives are related to low-fertility desire of Poles, deterring them from wanting to have children? We look at the motivations of 939 nulliparous men and women, aged 25 to 44 years, who completed the Childb…
Une étude comparative de l’impact de la religiosité et de l’égalité des genres sur les intentions en matière de fécondité et leurs réalisations
Le rôle de la religiosité et du genre dans l’élaboration des décisions en matière de fécondité a fait l’objet de nombreuses études ces dernières années. Cette littérature a toutefois mis en évidence une énigme intéressante. Alors que la religiosité a un effet positif sur la fécondité, en partie grâce à la promotion des rôles sexospécifiques traditionnels, l’égalité des sexes s’avère elle aussi avoir eu un impact positif – plutôt que négatif – sur…
From Motives Through Desires to Intentions
This study examined the potential of the theoretical model proposed by Warren Miller (the Traits/Motives–Desires–Intentions–Behaviour or TDIB model) for investigating the involuntary–voluntary childlessness continuum. The first three stages of the theoretical motivational sequence (motives to desires to intentions) were examined using a purposive sample of 314 childless Polish men and women aged 30–39 (at the time of data collection in September …
Free to stay, free to leave
Previous studies have shown that in Poland cohabitation is most of all a transitory step or a testing period before marriage. Polish law does not recognize this living arrangement and it has been portrayed as uncommitted and short-lived. However, few studi

Across the industrialized world, more couples are living together without marrying. Although researchers have compared cohabitation cross-nationally using quantitative data, few have compared union formation using qualitative data

Meanings and attitudes attached to cohabitation in Poland
This study contributes to the understanding of the low level of non-marital cohabitation in Poland at the beginning of the XXI century. We employ an interpretative analysis of semi-structured interviews in order to capture the meanings and attitudes as
