Special Issue: Education and fertility in low-fertility settings

Guest editors: Éva Beaujouan, Tomáš Sobotka, Jan Van Bavel

The 2017 issue of the Vienna Yearbook of Population Research examines the relationship between education and fertility in low-fertility contexts. The contributions document well the context-specific nature of the link between education and family behaviours, especially with respect to fertility levels, fertility timing, childlessness, non-marital childbearing, and fertility intentions. Besides their common focus on education, many articles apply a comparative perspective that illustrates the variation of education-fertility links. Six studies go beyond the usual focus on women’s fertility by analysing fertility levels or fertility intentions of both women and men, or by adopting a couple perspective to study fertility. Other studies apply a cohort perspective, provide a more detailed look at family size distributions and parity-specific patterns of family building and of reproductive intentions. This volume of the Vienna Yearbook features six invited debate contributions discussing the question of whether highly educated women will have more children in the future.
