This paper contributes to the debate on the immigrant population’s reproductive behaviors using an unconventional survey not designed for demographic analysis. Applying the own-child method of young co-residing children, who are unlikely to have left home, we describe the patterns of the numbers of births realized after migration to women aged 15-40 years old and we look at the main determinants of fertility fitting a Poisson model. According to the literature, among immigrant women the migratory patterns , the gender roles and the country/area of origin represent important determinants of migrants’ fertility after migration, while the individual characteristics and destination contexts seem less important.

Abstract

This paper contributes to the debate on the immigrant population’s reproductive behaviors using an unconventional survey not designed for demographic analysis. Applying the own-child method of young co-residing children, who are unlikely to have left home, we describe the patterns of the numbers of births realized after migration to women aged 15-40 years old and we look at the main determinants of fertility fitting a Poisson model. According to the literature, among immigrant women the migratory patterns , the gender roles and the country/area of origin represent important determinants of migrants’ fertility after migration, while the individual characteristics and destination contexts seem less important.
