“…In der Wiederbefragung nahmen knapp acht von zehn Befragten wieder teil. Die zweite Welle ist in Bezug auf traditionelle Einstellungen, Bildung und Geburtsland leicht verzerrt, eine markante Selektivität ist aber nicht gegeben (Buber-Ennser 2014).…”

“…Verschiedene sozio-demographische und ökonomische Charakteristika haben sich als bedeutend für die Realisierung von Kinderwünschen erwiesen (Spéder und Kapitány 2009, 2014Régnier-Loilier und Vignoli 2011). Folgende Größen werden als Kovariate in unsere Analysen einbezogen, wobei sich die Angaben auf die Welle 1 beziehen: a) Geschlecht; b) Alter (21-24, 25-34, 35-45 Jahre); c) Partnerschaftsstatus (verheiratet, unverheiratet zusammenlebend, "living apart together" (LAT), partnerlos); d) Elternschaft (kinderlos, 1 Kind, 2 Kinder, 3 oder mehr Kinder); e) höchster Bildungsabschluss (Primär-oder Sekundärbildung, tertiäre Bildung); f) ökonomische Lage (Situation (sehr) schwierig, Situation ok, Situation (sehr) gut).…”

ZusammenfassungEs ist seit Langem bekannt, dass sich Fertilitätsraten zwischen ländlichen und urbanen Regionen unterscheiden. Stadt-Land-Unterschiede bei der Realisierung bestehender Kinderwünsche wurden jedoch bisher kaum untersucht. Der vorliegende Aufsatz untersucht die Verwirklichung bestehender Kinderwünsche in Österreich, wobei ländliche und urbane Gebiete mit der Hauptstadt Wien als einziger Millionenstadt verglichen werden. Unsere Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Kinderwünsche in Wien seltener realisiert werden als in ländlichen oder anderen urbanen Regionen Österreichs. Unterschiede in der Bevölkerungszusammensetzung erklären das häufigere Aufschieben des Kinderwunsches in Wien. Für die Aufgabe des Drei-Jahres-Kinderwunsches bestehen aber auch nach Berücksichtigung sozioökonomischer und demographischer Charakteristika sowie Wertvorstellungen noch regionale Unterschiede. Dies könnte an der Vielfalt an bildungs- und berufsbezogenen Optionen in Städten liegen, die mit einer Familiengründung konkurrieren.

“…In wave 2, panel attrition was rather modest, amounting to 22 percent (Buber-Ennser 2014). Panel data are affected by a small bias towards family-oriented persons as well as a higher attrition of less educated respondents and persons with migration backgrounds, but the data can nonetheless be used without (larger) concerns about selectivity (Buber-Ennser 2014). For the current study, the fi nal sample included 1,778 women and 1,128 men aged 18 to 44 years who participated in both waves, have a partner (either cohabiting or living apart-together), and with valid information on fertility intentions for the next three years.…”

The anticipated risk of job loss and material insecurity are related to fertility postponement in the same way as unemployment is. Given the sequential nature of fertility and occupational decisions, unfavorable working conditions should be resolved before having children, and result in an increase in people’s assignment of importance to paid work when developing their childbearing plans. We aim to demonstrate this link, focusing on perceived employment and material insecurity, the importance assigned to paid work in forming fertility intentions, the construction of fertility intentions, and their realization. Using two waves of the Austrian Generations and Gender Survey, we apply probit regressions to analyze gender variations in the associations between uncertainty conditions, the importance of paid work, fertility intentions and behavior. Results reveal that work and related benefits become salient when they are insecure, and that material insecurity among men discourages childbearing. For women, we find support for the hypothesis that the anticipated risk of job loss inhibits the realization of fertility intentions – intentions which are less likely to be constructed under such conditions from the onset of family planning processes.

“…The first wave of the Austrian GGS includes 5,000 respondents in the age group 18–45 (response rate: 61 percent). Four years later, 78 percent could be reinterviewed in the second wave (excluding refusals and noncontacts) (Buber‐Ennser ). Statistics Austria collected data using computer‐assisted personal interviews.…”

Looking Beyond the Church Tax: Families and the Disaffiliation of Austrian Roman Catholics

This study aims to understand the reasons why Roman Catholics leave the church based on the example of Austria, a country with high rates of disaffiliation since the 1980s. Although previous research focused mainly on the church tax, this study provides a more comprehensive analysis based on a mixed‐methods approach that reveals the central relevance of the family in the process. We began by conducting and analyzing 19 qualitative interviews with former Catholics. Next we used the Generations and Gender Survey (two‐wave representative panel data) to study the characteristics of Catholics who disaffiliated in the intersurvey period (2008–2012). Two types could be distinguished in the qualitative and the quantitative sample: attached and distant leavers. Both rarely attended religious services and were critical of the church, but attached leavers held a private form of religiosity and engaged in religious practices whereas distant leavers self‐identified as agnostics or atheists. The church tax was the main reason for disaffiliation among attached leavers while distant leavers disaffiliated on ideological grounds. One identical factor, however, was of major importance for explaining church‐leaving behavior among both types: family‐related matters and experiences. We conclude that family members and family transitions play a major role in the process of religious disaffiliation.
