“…A few recent US studies have argued that this is an important geographical distinction (e.g. Albrecht and Albrecht 2004;Heaton et al 1989;Snyder 2006) but little attention has been given to suburban fertility in Europe. Subsuming suburban areas into cities, as in most previous within-nation studies, may mask the extent of the fertility differentials between city centres and rural areas.…”

“…While the migration to the suburbs has been in part fuelled by a desire to escape the mix of classes and ethnic groups of urban areas, and by government-and market-shaped economic incentives, the suburban ideal has stressed finding an environment in which family ties can be strengthened (Miller 1995, p. 393) More recently, we can find virtually no studies which compare urban, suburban and rural fertility patterns in contemporary Europe (although there has been some interest in these issues in North America; see Albrecht and Albrecht 2004;Heaton et al 1989;Snyder 2006). Two recent European studies suggest that contemporary suburban fertility continues to be higher than in urban areas and, in some instances, even higher than in rural areas.…”

High Fertility in City Suburbs: Compositional or Contextual Effects?

Fertility rates are known to be higher in city suburbs. One interpretation is that the suburban 'context' influences the behaviour of individuals who reside there while an alternative is that the 'composition' of the suburban population explains the higher fertility levels. Furthermore, suburban in-migrants who intend to have children may have a significant influence on suburban fertility rates. Using Finnish longitudinal register data we show that fertility rates are higher in the suburbs and rural areas and lower in the cities. Fertility variation across these residential contexts decreases significantly after controlling for women's demographic and socio-economic characteristics. However, it does not disappear entirely suggesting that the local context may have some influence on fertility. While movers to suburbs do display higher fertility levels than non-migrant residents, their overall impact is not great because they form a small share of the suburban population.Keywords Fertility Á Migration Á Residential mobility Á Urban, suburban and rural Á Event history analysis Á Finland Résumé Les taux de fécondité sont connus pour être plus élevés dans les banlieues que dans les villes. Cette caractéristique pourrait s'expliquer soit un effet du 'contexte' suburbain sur le comportement des individus, soit par le rôle de la 'composition' de la population.

A l'aide de données longitudinales de registre finlandais, nous établissons que les taux de fécondité sont plus élevés dans les banlieues et les zones rurales que dans les villes. Les variations entre contextes résidentiels se réduisent significativement après prise en compte des caractéristiques démographiques et socio-économiques des femmes. Toutefois, ces variations ne disparaissent pas entièrement, ce qui laisse penser que le contexte local pourrait exercer une influence sur la fécondité. Alors que les nouveaux arrivants dans les banlieues ont une fécondité plus élevée que les habitants de longue date, leur rôle reste limité car ils ne constituent qu'une petite part de la population suburbaine.123 Eur J Population (2009) 25:157-174 DOI 10.1007/s10680

“…age has increased) in rural areas have typically emphasized the stronger hold of traditional values and norms that place greater emphasis on marriage and which are difficult to violate in rural areas because of the closed and shared nature of such societies (Albrecht & Albrecht 2004;Brown & Snyder 2006). Next, we examine whether the socio-political and economic crises that occurred in the Central Asian countries acted differently in influencing marriage patterns in rural and urban areas.…”

over two decades preceding and one decade following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, using census and Demographic Health Survey data. Although marriage remained universal through the end of that period, marriage age increased, and for younger cohorts, marriage rates declined considerably. Marriage age began to increase in the years following independence and there are no signs of any reversal. Within these countries marriage rates showed significant variation by educational achievement, and a much smaller variation by ruralÁ urban residence. In Kazakhstan, ethnic differences in marriage age*Russians marrying earlier than the native Kazakhs*began to narrow. During the years of social, political and economic turmoil that preceded and followed independence, marriage rates increased dramatically followed by a steep decline in Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan but not in Kazakhstan. Explanations of these trends are proposed based on the literature on demographic adjustments to social crises and the specifics of Central Asia's historico-cultural and socio-economic contexts.

“…Notably, some researchers have argued that the forces of globalization have made rural places less distinct [18] and that all Americans have been socialized to share a "culture of place" [19], concluding that the differences between rural and urban may be overemphasized. However, attitudinal research continues to show some key differences between rural and urban places on a breadth of topics including the environment [20], immigration [21] [22], and the impact of technology [23].…”

Symbolic Racism or Self-Interest? Comparing Rural and Urban Worries about Obamacare

Framed by the theory of symbolic racism versus self-interest, this study sought to investigate differences, if any, between rural and urban residents' concerns about Obamacare (the Affordable Care Act). First, we found that rural residents are significantly more worried about Obamacare. Second, regarding symbolic racism, ratings of Muslims (but not blacks or immigrants) predicted worry about Obamacare for rural and urban respondents. Third, different self-interest measures were predictive for the rural and urban samples. Rural residents who worried about becoming ill were more worried about Obamacare. Urban residents who worried about money were more worried about Obamacare. We conclude with recommendations for framing health care reform in ways that might reduce concerns among rural and urban people.
