  • The Changing Influence of Religion on U.S. Fertility

    Open AccessLinda B Williams, Basil G ZimmerARTICLEDemography1990Cited by: 9References: 9

    Traditionally one of the indisputable generalizations in demography has been that Catholics have higher fertility than Protestants and Jews (Freedman, Whelpton, & Campbell 1959; Ryder & Westoff 1971; Westoff, Potter, & Sagi 1964; Whelpton, Campbell, & Patterson 1966). Recently, however, doubts have been raised about the continued validity of this longstanding and heretofore widely accepted generalization

  • Size of Family, Life Chances, and Reproductive Behavior

    Basil G Zimmer, John Fulton et al.ARTICLEJournal of Marriage and the Family1980Cited by: 10

    Examines the long standing hypothesis that size of family runs in families. It is hypothesized that size of family of origin has 2 main effects on reproductive behavior: a weak direct (family tradition) effect and a stronger indirect (structural) effect through life chances (status attainment). Life chances of both husband and wife are considered. It is hypothesized that size of family influences status attainment which in turn affects fertility.…

  • Consequences of the number and spacing of pregnancies on outcome, and of pregnancy outcome on spacing

    Basil G ZimmerARTICLESocial Biology1979Cited by: 5References: 2

    This study is based on 3,098 once‐married women in Abderdeen, Scotland, who had a total of 10,825 pregnancies, which resulted in wastages of 285 infant deaths, 173 stillbirths, 712 involuntary abortions, and 200 voluntary terminations. Wastage varies by pregnancy number, particularly after the third pregnancy. There is, however, a selective factor operating here in that women who have a wastage are more likely to continue on to the next higher pr…

  • A further look at catholic fertility

    Open AccessBasil G Zimmer, Calvin GoldscheiderARTICLEDemography1966Cited by: 6

    The purpose of this paper is to determine the extent to which suburbanization has influenced the traditional fertility differences observed between Catholics and Protestants. It is hypothesized that suburbanization has served to decrease religious differences in fertility, since in the more advanced stages of urbanism, that is, suburbanization, the Catholic population is likely to adopt the fertility patterns of the larger and more secularized so…

  • The Significance of Membership in Associations

    Basil G Zimmer, Amos H HawleyARTICLEAmerican Journal of Sociology1959Cited by: 5

    In a medium-sized metropolitan area membership in voluntary associations is higher in the central city than in the fringe area. Frequency of membership in both areas varies with demographic characteristics. When standarized rates are computed, the lower fringe rate is found to be not due to demographic composition. Membership in associations is of some consequence in the affairs of the community, particularly in those having to do with the politi…

  • Approaches to the Solution of Fringe Problems

    Basil G Zimmer, Amos H HawleyARTICLEPublic Administration Review1956

    T HE rapid growth of population in the areas immediately adjoining metropolitan central cities during the past thirtyfive years has created and progressively aggravated a host of problems of concern to central cities as well as to the residents of the so-called fringe areas. From the point of view of the latter, the problems may be summarily described as a general lack of adequate urban facilities. Despite the prevalence in the fringe of an urban…

  • Farm Background and Urban Participation

    Basil G ZimmerARTICLEAmerican Journal of Sociology1956

    City population are made up in large part of both urban and farm migrants. Migration itself appears to limit participation in the urban setting, but type of previous community experience is a more significant determinant. Migrants as a group have a lower level of participation than natives, but on this point urban migrants are more similar to the natives than to the farm migrants. High status tends to transcend the limiting influence of farm back…
