“…This research has mainly focused on the impact of fixed-term contracts or part-time employment (Tölke and Diewald 2003;Tölke 2005;Kurz 2005;Kurz, Steinhage, and Golsch 2005;Bernhard and Kurz 2007;Brose 2008;Gebel and Giesecke 2009). Not many studies have evaluated the effect of income on fertility in Germany.…”

“…Theoretical considerations as well as previous empirical research dealing with the impact of precarious employment situations on fertility suggest that such factors are unlikely to affect both genders in similar ways (see Oppenheimer 1994;Kurz et al 2001;Tölke & Diewald 2003;Golsch 2004;Kreyenfeld 2005;Tölke 2005). Hence, these rational choice based considerations and previous research findings will be addressed in detail in the following sections.…”

“…Longer spells of unemployment or absence from the labour market may furthermore devalue human capital investments and may seriously hamper the chance of returning to the labour force, thus consolidating economic dependence. Hence, a return to the labour market might -under certain conditions -be the first choice over family formation.Theoretical considerations as well as previous empirical research dealing with the impact of precarious employment situations on fertility suggest that such factors are unlikely to affect both genders in similar ways (see Oppenheimer 1994;Kurz et al 2001;Tölke & Diewald 2003;Golsch 2004; Kreyenfeld 2005;Tölke 2005).

Terms of use: Documents in EconStor may SOEPpapers on Multidisciplinary Panel Data Research at DIW BerlinThis series presents research findings based either directly on data from the German SocioEconomic Panel Study (SOEP) or using SOEP data as part of an internationally comparable data set (e.g. CNEF, ECHP, LIS, LWS, CHER/PACO). SOEP is a truly multidisciplinary household panel study covering a wide range of social and behavioral sciences: economics, sociology, psychology, survey methodology, econometrics and applied statistics, educational science, political science, public health, behavioral genetics, demography, geography, and sport science.The decision to publish a submission in SOEPpapers is made by a board of editors chosen by the DIW Berlin to represent the wide range of disciplines covered by SOEP. There is no external referee process and papers are either accepted or rejected without revision. Papers appear in this series as works in progress and may also appear elsewhere. They often represent preliminary studies and are circulated to encourage discussion. Citation of such a paper should account for its provisional character. A revised version may be requested from the author directly. (1994)(1995)(1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001). The results highlight spurious negative effects of unemployment on family formation among men, which can be attributed to the lack of breadwinner capabilities in the inability to financially support a family. Women, in contrast, show positive effects of unemployment on the propensity to have a first child in all countries except France. These effects prevail even after controlling for labour market and income-related factors. The findings are pronounced in Germany and the UK where work-family conflicts are the cause of high opportunity costs of motherhood, and the gender-specific division of labour is still highly traditional. Particularly among women with a moderate and low level of education, unemployment clearly increases the likelihood to have a first child.Keywords: family formation, fertility, unemployment, cross-national comparison. 1) IntroductionThe aim of this paper is to analyse the impact of unemployment on fertility behaviour at the individual level. This issue is rooted on the one hand in conflicts over the limited time available for parenthood (both time in everyday life, and time within the lifetime), and on the other, in the economic requirements for supporting a family and thus fulfilling bread...

“…It has been shown that the transition to fatherhood is not affected by uncertainty in the employment biography arising from temporary employment contracts (Tölke 2005;Schmitt 2008). For highly qualified women, the situation appears to be different.…”
