“…fertility intentions. Although the number of childbirths outside of a relationship has increased in recent decades, the share is small compared to the share of births within a relationship(Bastin et al 2013). A stable relationship is considered the most favorable environment in which to realize a positive intention, because the level of perceived behavioral control is high.…”

This paper studies the short-term fertility intentions of women and men and their subsequent behavior. On the one hand, the predictive strength of fertility intentions is of interest. On the other hand, the most important determinants that inhibit or enable the realization of fertility intentions are analyzed. Data from the first three waves of the German Family Panel (pairfam) are used in the analysis. The theoretical model is derived from the Theory of Planned Behavior. Its validity for the realization of short-term childbearing intentions is tested in the low-fertility context of Germany. Our descriptive findings indicate that fertility intentions have a certain predictive strength. Individuals who reported a strong desire to have a child within the next two years were the most likely to have had a child. However, negative intentions were even more predictive of subsequent behavior. For the women and men with positive fertility intentions, the chances of failure were relatively high. The multivariate results suggest that being in a stable relationship was by far the most important determinant of whether individuals had and realized positive fertility intentions. In addition, financial security and parenthood status were strong determinants. Social pressure exerted by the parents was also a factor, as subjective norms appear to have affected the realization of positive intentions.

“…Zum anderen wird Ende 1997 eine Rentenreform durchgesetzt, die letztendlich eine Senkung im Rentenniveau bewirkte (Schommer 2008, Ostheim und Schmidt 2007 (Trappe et al 2015). Gleichzeitig sind nichteheliche Lebensgemeinschaften insgesamt und mit Kindern weiter verbreitet, auch der Anteil an Alleinerziehenden ist höher (Bastin et al 2013, Schnor 2014. Durch die Wiedervereinigung findet also eine weitere Verschiebung weg von ehelichen Lebensgemeinschaften hin zu verschiedenen Familienphasen statt.…”

“…In Deutschland besteht eine Selbstselektion von stabilen Partnerschaften in die Ehe -spätestens rund um den Zeitpunkt der Geburt des ersten Kindes. Dabei ist dieser Zusammenhang in Westdeutschland stärker ist als in Ostdeutschland (Bastin et al 2013). Dies bedeutet, dass die Geburt von Kindern in NEL häufiger ungeplant und in weniger stabilen Beziehungen vorkommt, was wiederum zumindest teilweise die häufig beobachtete höhere Trennungswahrscheinlichkeit in NEL erklären kann (Barg und Beblo 2012, Bastin et al 2013, Lyngstad und Jalovaara 2010, McLanahan und Percheski 2008, Pelletier 2016, Thomson und McLanahan 2012.…”

“…These surveys contain partnership histories which enable researchers to distinguish periods of cohabitation from spells of lone parenthood. The German Family Panel (pairfam), which is used in this investigation, also includes episodes of "living apart together" (LAT), and thus allows for even more subtle distinctions to be made between partnership forms across the life course (Bastin, Kreyenfeld, & Schnor, 2012;. 3 In the German Family Panel, as well as in the abovementioned surveys, partnership and fertility histories are gathered in a modularized way.…”

This paper examines the reliability of biographical information gathered retrospectively. It draws on data from the German Family Panel (pairfam), which collected information on the partnership status at first birth using two different methods. The first method is based on data on partnership and fertility histories collected retrospectively. The second method uses data gathered through the use of a "landmark question" on the respondents' partnership status when their first children were born. We find that in almost 20 percent of the cases, the information collected using the first method did not correspond with the information collected using the second method. Partnership dissolution and "turbulence" in the partnership biography are strong predictors for discrepancies in the information gathered through the two different survey methods. We conclude by drawing attention to the limitations of the retrospective collection of partnership histories at a time when divorce and separation rates are increasing.
