“…In a longitudinal study based on a sample of Kreise in the state of Nordrhein-Westfalen, Strohmeier (1989) found support for the hypothesis of an association between age-speci®c selective migration in the life-course and family formation. Individuals who choose to live in rural areas ± movers' as well as`stayers' ± display a more traditional orientation towards the family and childbearing than those who choose to live in the cities (Strohmeier, 1989). The author concludes that the weak propensity of rural±urban migrants to form a family eventually leads tò imported childlessness' in the cities.…”

“…As expected, the proportion of children aged 6 to 14 is relatively low in Kreise with currently low TFRs. The association between these two variables is likely to be enhanced by the migration of young families from urban districts to the countryside (Strohmeier, 1989). The ratio of in-to out-migrants under the age of 18 in high-fertility Kreise is almost 1.5, while there is a negative migration balance of children and young persons in low-fertility areas.…”

In the years following German unification, researchers' attention has been attracted mainly by the rapid fertility decline in eastern Germany. This has often resulted in neglect of regional fertility differentials within Germany, which reach much further back in time than those currently observed between the ‘old’ and the ‘new’ Länder of the Federal Republic. This paper provides an overview of studies investigating regional fertility differences in post‐war western Germany. Additionally, results of an analysis of official statistics for western German Kreise (districts) in the period 1995–97 are presented. Geographical patterns of high‐ and low‐fertility areas are detected, which have remained basically unchanged by the general fertility decline of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Consistent with findings from earlier studies, population density, family migration and the local occupational structure are still found to be closely associated with regional total fertility rates in the 1990s. The paper concludes with a call for more multilevel studies that –theoretically as well as empirically –link regional social contexts with individual (reproductive) behaviour.

“…After the fi rst ground-breaking works by Rossi (1955), only a few papers regarding the relationship between family formation, local opportunity structures, and residential mobility were published in the 1980s and 1990s (comp. Hervitz 1985;Courgeau 1985Courgeau , 1990Huinink/Wagner 1989;Strohmeier 1989;Wagner 1989). In these studies, some hypotheses were developed, which are being picked up again in current research (Clark/Davies Wizers 2007;Kulu 2005;2006;Kulu/Vikat/Andersen 2007;Kulu/Boyle/Andersen 2009).…”

Fertility and Commuting Behaviour in Germany

Fertility behaviour is closely related to other dimensions of the individual life course, which are strongly interrelated themselves. Regarding the impact of job-related spatial mobility, empirical findings show a negative correlation between having children and commuting, particularly for women. Up to now, fertility intentions have not been thoroughly investigated in this respect. Longitudinal studies are lacking, too. In this paper, the effects of commuting arrangements of men and women on the intention of having a child within the next two years as well as the probability of realising this intention are addressed. The assumption is, that after accounting for other important factors (employment status, level of qualification, type of consensual union, number of children, residential mobility), medium- and long-distance commuting is negatively related to the fertility intention of women and its realisation. For men, effects are assumed to be nonexistent or even slightly positive. Longitudinal data from the first three waves of the German “Panel Analysis of Intimate Relationships and Family Dynamics” (pairfam) are used to test the hypotheses.Firstly, a cross-sectional, multivariate probit-regression (with correlated errors) on the intention to have a child within two years, on being childless and on medium- and long- distance commuting is applied. The model shows no significant correlation between commuting and the intention to have a child; it does however show a correlation between medium- and long distance commuting and the probability of women to be childless. Secondly, a longitudinal difference model on changing fertility intentions between panel wave 1 and wave 3 is estimated. For women, a positive effect can be found of interrupting medium- and long-distance commuting or, surprisingly, continuing medium- and long-distance commuting on the intention to have a child within two years. Thirdly, for men and women who reported a fertility intention in the first wave, a longitudinal Heckman-selection probit-regression on the probability of having a child between wave 1 and wave 3 is estimated. It shows negative effects of medium- and long-distance commuting on having a child. Taken together, these findings support the assumption that commuting plays a characteristically different role in different phases of the fertility-related decision process.
