The effect of political violence on fertility in mid-twentieth-century Estonia
Estonia lost its independence during the Second World War, experiencing both Russian (1940-41, 1944-91) and German (1941-44) occupation, which brought significant political violence, particularly in the 1940s and 1950s. This paper analyses the effect of these repressions on fertility, using two studies. First, we use data collected between 1994 and 2005 from surveys that included extended questions on the lives of respondents' parents, including …
Fathers' Use of Parental Leave in Estonia: Examining a Generous Leave Package Without Non‐Transferable Quotas
This article examines the trend in fathers' uptake of parental leave following the 2004 parental leave reform in Estonia and analyses the factors that determine whether fathers take leave. The reform introduced generous earnings‐related parental leave benefits paid over a long period but did not implement a fathers' quota. The study population includes children born between 2004 and 2018. We use a register‐based dataset and logistic regression to…
Residential echoes: Intergenerational transmission of residential position amid societal upheaval
This paper brings new perspectives on the intergenerational transmission of residential position by focusing on a society that has experienced a major societal upheaval. The aim is to understand whether upheaval disrupts intergenerational links or whether continuity between generations persists. We assess whether and how parental, individual, and partner characteristics shape the residential position of young people entering the housing market un…
Division of Labour, Fertility Intentions, and Childbearing in Estonia
Gender Revolution Theory offers a compelling hypothesis about the role of gender equality in contemporary fertility dynamics, suggesting that a more egalitarian division of paid and unpaid labour among couples will enhance childbearing. However, the empirical evidence supporting is weak. This study focuses on the division of labour and asks if couples in which the woman works full-time while also doing most of the housework have lower fertility i…
Varying responses to the introduction of earnings-related benefits: A study of 2004 parental leave reform in Estonia
Neighbourhoods and Workplaces: Are They Related to the Fertility of Immigrants and Their Descendants? A Register-Based Study of Finland, 1999–2014
An increasing number of studies point to the existence of fertility differences between immigrants and those who are native to the receiving countries. However, despite a large body of literature covering a wide range of settings, there is a lack of research into the factors that may underlie the observed differentials. In this article, we focus on the role of population composition in residential neighbourhoods and workplaces, which are assumed …
Parental Leave and Fertility: Individual-Level Responses in the Tempo and Quantum of Second and Third Births
Previous studies have documented varying fertility responses to changes in parental leave provisions. We contribute to this literature by investigating the effects on the transition to second and third births of a policy reform that introduced generous earnings-dependent parental leave benefit in Estonia in 2004. Our study employs a mixture cure model, a model with some useful properties that has been seldom applied in fertility research. The adv…
Fertility Intentions and Sexual Orientation: Evidence from the 2020 Youth Survey in Estonia
Attitudes towards sexual minorities have undergone a transformation in Western countries recently. This has led to an increase in research into the experiences of sexual minorities in a variety of life domains. Although parenthood is a valued life goal only a few small-scale studies have looked into the parenthood goals of individuals in relation to their sexual orientation. The aims of this study are to analyse the diversity of sexual orientatio…
What is the association between the ethnic composition of neighbourhoods, workplaces and schools and the formation of mixed‐ethnic unions
Although ethnic diversity and the types of interpersonal ties that are experienced in various domains of life may vary considerably, studies regarding the local marriage market rarely focus on the relationship between the formation of mixed‐ethnic unions and the ethnic composition of more than one spatial context. In this study, by applying event history analysis methods to longitudinal register data from Finland, we address three spatial context…
Partnership dynamics among immigrants and their descendants in four European countries
This study investigates union formation and dissolution among immigrants and their descendants in four European countries with different migration histories and family patterns (United Kingdom, France, Spain, and Estonia). Although there is a growing body of literature on migrant families in Europe, there is still little comparative research on partnership dynamics among immigrants and their descendants. We apply event history analysis to pooled …
Non-marital childbearing of migrants and their descendants: Russians in Estonia compared with Russians in Russia and Estonians
Pour expliquer l’émergence de comportements alternatifs en matière de famille et de fécondité, l’article mobilise des cadres explicatifs concurrents : rapport à la modernité et position sociale défavorisée. À partir des données recueillies dans le cadre de l’enquête sur les générations et les rapports de genre dans les deux pays (2004-2005), notamment auprès des femmes nées entre 1924 et 1986, il saisit les modèles de fécondité au regard de la pa…
The Role of Neighbourhood and Workplace Ethnic Contexts in the Formation of Inter-ethnic Partnerships: A Native Majority Perspective
Although inter-ethnic encounters take place in multiple domains of daily life, ethnic intermarriage has typically been studied in relation to places of residence but rarely in relation to workplaces. Focussing on migrants is the most common approach to the study of intermarriage, whereas focussing on native majority population is less frequent. This study investigates an extent to which the share of immigrants at the workplace establishment and i…
Survival and sex composition of offspring: Individual-level responses in the quantum and tempo of childbearing during the demographic transition
Previous studies have documented varying fertility responses to childhood mortality and to the sex composition of the surviving offspring during the demographic transition. We contribute to this literature by applying a mixture cure model to reproductive histories of Estonian women born 1850-99. This model, unlike standard event history models, is capable of separating the effect of the covariates on the propensity of having another birth from th…
Longevity of World War II Estonian volunteers in the Finnish Army: A follow-up study of the impact of the post-war life course and repressions
The existing literature pertaining to the long-term effects of war-related adversities on longevity is almost exclusively covering veterans from Western countries, while little is known about the longevity of surviving veterans in Eastern Europe
Fertility Intentions and Views on Gender Roles: Russian Women in Estonia from an Origin-destination Perspective
In this article we investigate fertility intentions of Russian women in Estonia from an origin-destination perspective. Russian migrants to Estonia and their descendants are compared with women in the sending and host countries in order to identify similarities and differences in intended transitions to first, second and third births. The study is based on the Estonian and Russian Generations and Gender Surveys, which were conducted in 2004/2005,…
Co-ethnic marriage versus intermarriage among immigrants and their descendants: A comparison across seven European countries using event-history analysis
Immigrants and their descendants often marry a co-ethnic partner despite the abundance of native-born marriage candidates. The prevalence of co-ethnic marriages and intermarriage among migrants is influenced by their integration level and cultural backgrou
Seeding the gender revolution: Women's education and cohort fertility among the baby boom generations
In Europe and the United States, women's educational attainment started to increase around the middle of the twentieth century. The expected implication was fertility decline and postponement, whereas in fact the opposite occurred. We analyse trends in the quantum of cohort fertility among the baby boom generations in 15 countries and how these relate to women's education. Over the 1901-45 cohorts, the proportion of parents with exactly two child…
The formation of ethnically mixed partnerships in Estonia: A stalling trend from a two-sided perspective

The impact of water supply and sanitation on infant mortality: Individual-level evidence from Tartu, Estonia, 1897-1900
Evidence from a number of historical studies has demonstrated a strong impact of the provision of clean water on mortality risks, while no clear effect has been reported in others. We investigated the relationship between water supply, sanitation, and infant survival in Tartu, a university town in Estonia, 1897-1900. Based on data from parish registers, which were linked to the first census of the Russian Empire, the analysis reveals a clear disa…

The Validity of Survey Responses on Abortion: Evidence from Estonia
This paper presents results of a validation survey of abortion conducted in Tallinn, Estonia in April and May 1992. The sample was drawn from patient records in a maternity hospital. Women who had an abortion in that hospital in 1991 were asked about recent abortions as part of a survey about women’s health. More than 80% of the respondents reported having a recent abortion. Some respondents misreported their abortion as a miscarriage. Moreover, …

The theoretical underpinnings of the study were derived from Hajnal’s theory of historical nuptiality regimes in Europe. In general, the results suggest that all countries in the region share a common vector of changes in partnership formation, but at the same time the onset and advancement of these changes varies. The changesstarted earlier and have …
