“…According to her analysis, husbands' help with domestic work and access to inexpensive formal childcare are associated with a higher likelihood of intended births. Echoing Kim's (2017) and Kan and Hertog's (2017) results, Yang (2017) finds that in China, the level of a wife's domestic work is negatively associated with a desire to have another child. This association disappears, however, when the sex of the child is taken into account.…”

“…Subsequent papers in the special issue focus on one country each and provide more detailed insights into men's and women's fertility intentions and the consequences associated with having more children in Japan, China, and South Korea. Kim (2017) looks at fertility trends and the availability of formal and informal help with domestic work in South Korea. According to her analysis, husbands' help with domestic work and access to inexpensive formal childcare are associated with a higher likelihood of intended births.…”

“…Gender-role attitudes -including traditional and egalitarian attitudes (51,56,57,58), division of housework (11,12,15,32,48,58,59,60), childcare tasks (32,58), and perception of the division (38,35) -play major roles in childbearing decision-making among couples. Partner involvement in home chores and childcare tasks increases the attention of working women to have a second child (11,32).…”

Background: Persistence of low fertility in many countries has been a research concern during the last two decades. Childbearing decision-making is a complex process, involving many social, economic, political, and personal factors. We aim to provide comprehensive information about the core determinants of fertility intentions Methods: Ovid, MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Web of Science, SCOPUS, and GOOGLE SCHOLAR was searched for the relevant articles published from 1946 to December 2017. The current systematic review included the original and quantitative longitudinal and cross-sectional studies in English, The subjects of the studies were men and/or women in reproductive age (men aged 18-55 and women aged 18-45). Family planning methods were available in the reference country. Studies with less than 200 participants were excluded. Results: 45 Studies included in the qualitative synthesis.310727 participants included in the analysis. All effective factors in childbearing decision- making were classified into three main categories: Individual factors, Couple Puzzle, and Contextual factors. Factors such as age, religion, education, employment, and economic conditions were classified as individual factors. We also had a special focus on couples. As fertility is a dyadic process, for more emphasis we explained the couple relationship in case of the couple puzzle. Partnership Status, Gender Role Attitudes, Couple Desire, and Partnership Quality are the main aspects of couples puzzle Social network support (interaction within networks of family and friends) and family support environment are associated with childbearing intentions among couples. Conclusion: Further collaborative efforts by researchers and funding agencies will enable us to reveal fundamental mechanisms that affect and control fertility choices at different levels. As there are limited instances of interdisciplinary studies, studying fertility would highly benefit by crossing disciplinary and geographic boundaries. Although native scholars conduct fertility investigations in each country, the majority of research on fertility does not often communicate with one another.

“…Importantly, most research examining the domestic gender equality and fertility link primarily examine this subject in the Western setting, and there is an emerging literature exploring this relationship in non-Western settings, most of which focus on lowfertility countries in East Asia (Brinton et al, 2018;Freeman et al, 2018;Kan & Hertog, 2017;Kim, 2017;Yang, 2017;Yoon, 2017). It would be useful to explore this link in a different social context which is neither Western European nor North American or East Asian with very different gender norms and fertility patterns.…”

While a great deal of research focuses on industrialized countries in the West, there are few studies testing this association in a non-Western setting, with those studies focusing mainly on East Asian countries (e.g., Freeman et al, 2018;Kan & Hertog, 2017;Kim, 2017;Nagase & Brinton, 2017;Yang, 2017;Yoon, 2017). No doubt, increasing the regional and cultural diversity of the literature is useful in understanding various dynamics affecting the link between the division of domestic labour and fertility trends.…”

The gendered division of housework and fertility intention in Turkey

It is increasingly acknowledged that an equal sharing of domestic labour in a household influences women's childbearing behavior in a positive way. Despite the growing literature on this association, there is little research exploring this phenomenon in the Middle Eastern setting. Using intensive interviews with women (n = 32), I examine how the division of domestic labour is connected to women's intention to continue childbearing in Turkey, an understudied region. The study finds that husbands' housework share is positively related to women's fertility intention for an additional child in Turkey. The gender revolution framework offers an explanation for fertility and gender relationship in Turkey; however, the fact that only a small number of sampled women enjoyed domestic equality and greater desire to continue childbearing suggests that the gender revolution is just evolving in this environment.
