Marital Fertility Decline in Italy
A balanced panel of 192 observations across sixteen Italian regions reveals that socioeconomic modernization—characterized by rising gdp per capita, improved life expectancy, and declining illiteracy rates—was the primary driver of fertility reduction. Regional disparities were marked, with northern regions experiencing earlier and steeper declines than those in southern regions. Cultural factors, particularly proximity to French cultural network…
Disentangling the Role of Composition Factors in Fertility Responses to Unemployment
Using a macro-panel data set from 20 Italian regions, this study explores the relationship between unemployment and fertility in Italy between 2006 and 2018. It contributes to recent literature on this subject by considering gender-specific unemployment measures and examining the influence of two important compositional factors on fertility responses, namely the presence of foreign women and daily childcare coverage, and the influence of both of …
La evolución de la primera cohabitación de las mujeres en España ¿cambio o estabilidad
En España la prevalencia de las parejas de hecho no puede considerarse marginal y, a diferencia de otros países europeos como Francia, la cohabitación se considera una alternativa temporal que, generalmente, termina con la legalización de la unión (matrimonio). El propósito principal de este artículo es examinar la incidencia, duración y desarrollo de las primeras cohabitaciones a través de un enfoque comparativo basado en el curso de vida, ident…
Is the Combination of the Nationalities of the Couple Affecting Women’s Fertility Intentions? Insights from Italy
Literature on migrants’ fertility intentions has grown significantly in recent years. However, to the best of our knowledge, none of these studies has investigated the role that the combination of partners’ nationalities may play in individual’s intentions to have a(another) child. Filling this gap is particularly relevant for research because fertility behaviors tend to vary greatly according to the type of couple and fertility intentions have b…
Historical trends in female nuptiality in Italy and analysis of possible underlying reasons
Using a database of sociodemographic and economic variables for 16 Italian regions over a long period of time (from the late 19th century to the end of the 20th century), we analyze the historical evolution of female nuptiality. An econometric analysis (Panel Corrected Standard Errors) for the period 1900-1991 helps us to confirm the relationship established in some theories on marriage rates such as 'the new home economics' (life expectancy at b…
Natives’ and immigrants’ fertility intentions in Europe
In several European countries, births to immigrant women represent more than 10% of all births [Sobotka 2008]; however, there is evidence showing that in the aftermath of the Great Recession migrants’ fertility might have fallen more pronouncedly among migrants than natives [Sobotka 2017].With this study, we aim to provide further evidence about the employment/fertility link among migrants by focusing on the relationship between employment and fe…
Subjective Well-Being, Transnational Families and Social Integration of Married Immigrants in Italy
Entering first union
Some Migration Dynamics Specific to Southern Europe
This article examines the magnitude and determinants of migration from east to west (Europe) following the collapse of communism, and from south (Africa) to north (Europe). Special attention is given to assessing numbers and characteristics (including illegal) of the flows, and also to reasons for and success of bilateral agreements and cooperative projects by the governments of Italy and Spain designed to check and control the flows. Notwithstan…
