abstract: 'In this paper, we aim to assess the extent to which individual-level
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
completed fertility varies across contexts characterized by policies
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
supporting different gender division of labor models. We examine key
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
labor market and care policies that shape gender relations in households
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and in the public domain. We also consider the role of gender norms,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
which can act as both a moderator and a confounding factor for policy
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
effects. We hypothesize that, by facilitating role compatibility and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
reducing the gendered costs of childrearing, policies that support
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gender equality lead to an increase in fertility levels and to a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
reduction in fertility differentials by the level of education. Using
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
individual-level data from the European Union Survey on Income and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Living Conditions for 16 countries, combined with country-level data, we
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
analyze completed fertility through multilevel Poisson''s models. We find
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that the national level of childcare coverage is positively associated
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with fertility. Family allowances, prevalence of women''s part-time
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment and length of paid leaves were also found to be positively
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
associated with completed fertility, though the associations were not
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
statistically significant. These variables show a significant positive
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
pattern according to education. A high number of average working hours
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
for men are negatively associated with completed fertility and show a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
strong negative pattern by educational level. The prevalence of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gender-egalitarian norms is highly predictive of fertility levels, yet
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
we found no consistent evidence of a weaker association of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gender-equality policies in countries where egalitarian values are less
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
prevalent.'
