Natives’ and immigrants’ fertility intentions in Europe: the role of employment
In several European countries, births to immigrant women represent more than 10% of all births [Sobotka 2008]; however, there is evidence showing that in the aftermath of the Great Recession migrants’ fertility might have fallen more pronouncedly among migrants than natives [Sobotka 2017].With this...

Dans plusieurs pays européens, les naissances de femmes immigrées représentent plus de 10 % de l’ensemble des naissances [Sobotka 2008] ; cependant, des éléments montrent qu’au lendemain de la Grande Récession, la fécondité des migrants pourrait avoir chuté de manière plus prononcée chez les migrants que chez les autochtones [Sobotka 2017].Dans cette étude, nous souhaitons apporter de nouvelles connaissances sur le lien entre emploi et fécondité chez les migrants en étudiant la relation entre les intentions d’emploi et de fécondité - plutôt que les comportements. En fait, la plupart des recherches sur la fécondité des migrants se sont concentrées sur les comportements de procréation, et ont négligé les dimensions idéelles représentées par les attitudes et les intentions, qui sont pourtant de première importance pour compléter le tableau à travers une meilleure compréhension du côté des normes concernant la fécondité [Milewski et Mussino, 2018]. Pour ce faire, nous nous appuyons sur les données de l’ESS relatives aux années 2004 et 2010, soit juste avant et juste après la crise financière de 2008 (la "Grande Récession"). L’analyse des évolutions sur cette courte période permet de saisir le lien entre intentions de fécondité et emploi dans une période caractérisée par une grave crise économique. Plus généralement, cet article apporte un éclairage sur la façon dont les migrants appréhendent la procréation dans le pays d’accueil selon leur situation d’activité. |
