While the fertility levels of immigrants to Europe have been examined in the recent literature, the childbearing patterns among their descendants have received little attention. Using longitudinal data from eight European countries and applying Poisson regression models, the study shows that many descendants of immigrants exhibit first-birth levels that are similar to the \u2018native\u2019 population in their respective countries; however, first-birth levels are elevated among women of Pakistani and Bangladeshi origin in the UK and for those of Turkish descent in France and Belgium. Transition rates to a second child vary less across ethnic groups. Most ethnic minority women in the UK, France and Belgium show significantly higher third-birth levels than \u2018natives\u2019 in those countries. The inclusion of women\u2019s level of education in the analysis has little effect on fertility differences across the ethnic groups. Overall, the childbearing behaviour of the descendants of immigrants falls in between the fertility pathways experienced by their parents\u2019 generation and the respective \u2018native\u2019 populations. The analysis supports the idea that both the mainstream society and the minority subculture shape the childbearing patterns of the descendants of immigrants in Europe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"color: #888888;\"><em>Posted August 11 2015 &#8211;<\/em><\/span><strong> <a title=\"&#091;Read more&#093;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.FamiliesAndSocieties.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/WP40KuluEtAl2015.pdf\" onclick=\"javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','download','http:\/\/www.FamiliesAndSocieties.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/WP40KuluEtAl2015.pdf']);\">Read more<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><\/div><\/div><div class='clear_column'><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":131,"menu_order":40,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"template-no-nav.php","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.FamiliesAndSocieties.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3341"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.FamiliesAndSocieties.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.FamiliesAndSocieties.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.FamiliesAndSocieties.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.FamiliesAndSocieties.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3341"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"http:\/\/www.FamiliesAndSocieties.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3341\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3425,"href":"http:\/\/www.FamiliesAndSocieties.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3341\/revisions\/3425"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.FamiliesAndSocieties.eu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/131"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.FamiliesAndSocieties.eu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3341"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
