  • Growing Childlessness and One‐Child Families in Slovakia in the Shadow of Fragile Pronatalism

    Open AccessBranislav ŠprochaARTICLESocial Inclusion2022References: 5

    The model of very low childlessness and the low prevalence of one‐child families was once important for Slovak society. The collapse of the Communist regime, however, led to many changes in reproductive behaviour. This article aims to analyse the development of cohort childlessness and the prevalence of one‐child families in Slovakia. Possible scenarios of childlessness and one‐child families are presented. The article tries to place the obtained…

  • Three Decades of Post‐Communist Fertility Transition in a Subnational Context

    Open AccessBranislav Šprocha, Branislav Bleha et al.ARTICLETijdschrift voor Economische en…2022References: 39

    Fertility transition is taking place in all post‐communist countries. Not many studies have been conducted at the subnational level to prove the universal nature of this transition or, on the contrary, the diversity of regional trajectories. This study attempts to reveal whether the same explanatory schemes can be applied to fertility transformation mechanisms on a regional as well as a national level. Using a principal component analysis and a c…

  • Fertility of Roma Minorities in Central and Eastern Europe

    Open AccessLaura Szabó, Igor Ki et al.ARTICLEComparative Population Studies2021Cited by: 6References: 2

    We analyse Roma fertility in four neighbouring countries in Central and Eastern Europe with a large Roma minority: in Hungary, Slovakia, Romania and Serbia. The sources of data are the respective national population censuses from 2011. Fertility is measured at the birth cohort level as the average number of children ever born. We make an international comparison of the fertility of Roma and non-Roma majority population women on the basis of compl…

  • Does Socio‐Spatial Segregation Matter? ‘Islands’ of High Romany Fertility in Slovakia

    Open AccessBranislav Šprocha, Branislav BlehaARTICLETijdschrift voor Economische en…2018Cited by: 1References: 15

    The level of fertility in the majority of European countries is deeply below the replacement level. On the other hand, in the case of some ethnic groups, fertility continues to be on an above‐average level. One such example is the Romany population of Slovakia, especially those in very poor, segregated settlements. Very likely, there are strong interconnections between regional disparities, social and cultural segregation and reproduction of Roma…
