“…Yet the EU-SILC is not conceived for demographic analysis, which implies that birth events risk being underreported, mainly because fertility is linked to attrition. However, Greulich and Dasré (2017) find for the majority of countries that there are no significant socioeconomic differences in attrition in the EU-SILC. In addition, our retrospective approach allows circumventing the downward bias to some extent, as for women aged 15 to 27 we do not observe first b i r t h s s h o r t l y a f t e r t h e y o c c u r r e d b u t w i t h s o m e t i m e d e l a y .…”

“…This retrospective calculation enables us to subtract from the denominator all those women who will continue their studies, and thus to obtain unbiased probabilities of having a first child while still young for women of middle educational attainment. The retrospective approach also allows eliminating the attrition-caused downward bias of observed first childbirths for young women in EU-SILC (see Greulich and Dasré (2017) for more details on this issue).…”

“…We note that the birth of a child is not associated with significantly higher poverty risks, likely because this event is relatively rare in our sample (see Table 3). More in general, it has been noted that life events, like the birth of a child, are poorly measured in the EU-SILC survey (Greulich and Dasré 2017).…”

The analysis of poverty persistence received considerable attention in recent years. In this paper we explore the role of the adopted poverty measure in the analysis of its persistence. Specifically, we consider three measures: the risk of poverty, the severe material deprivation and subjective poverty, motivated by the understanding of poverty as a complex phenomenon and for which no single measure can effectively capture its several dimensions. The empirical analysis is based on the 2013-2016 longitudinal sample of the EU-SILC survey. We focus on Italian households with dependent children. We apply a correlated random effects probit models with endogenous initial conditions to assess genuine state dependence after controlling for structural household characteristics and variables related to participation in the labour market. A strong state dependence emerges, regardless of the considered poverty measure thus providing evidence of poverty and social exclusion persistence. We also find evidence of relevance of initial conditions for all measures in focus. Nonetheless, structural household characteristics and household level economic variables play roles that are often different in the three parallel models; these differences are consistent with the aims and nature of the alternative measures.

“…The panel contains individuals who are observed for less than four waves mainly due to the rotational design of the panel. Attrition in SILC is relatively small for individuals “at risk” of second child birth in comparison to first child birth, and attrition does not differ by socioeconomic characteristics, as shown by Greulich and Dasre (2017).…”

This paper shows that differences in fertility across European countries mainly emerge due to fewer women having two children in low-fertility countries. It further suggests that childcare services are an important determinant for the transition to a second child to occur. The theoretical framework we propose suggests that (i) in countries where childcare coverage is low, there is a U-shaped relationship between a couple’s probability of having a second child and the woman’s potential wage, whereas (ii) in countries with easy access to childcare, this probability is positively related with the woman’s potential wage. Data from the European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) confirm these implications when estimating a woman’s probability of having a second child as a function of education. This implies that middle-income women are the most affected ones by the lack of access to formal and subsidized childcare.
