Inhalt: "In fast allen europäischen Gesellschaften sind die Geburtenzahlen auf ein Niveau gesunken, das unterhalb der Bestandserhaltung der Bevölkerung liegt. Im Mittelpunkt der Studie steht die Frage, welchen Beitrag soziale Netzwerke zur Erklärung demographischer Entwicklungen und Verhaltensweisen leisten. Auf der Grundlage der ersten Welle des Generations and Gender Survey wird für sieben europäische Länder untersucht, inwieweit Entscheidungen zur Elternschaft durch die Einbindung in konfessionell geprägte Sozialbeziehungen und die Verfügbarkeit informeller Hilfen bei Kinderbetreuung beeinflusst sind. Die Ergebnisse der Analysen liefern keine eindeutigen Hinweise darauf, dass die Realisierung von Kinderwünschen durch netzwerkbasierte Betreuungsleistungen erleichtert wird. Darüber hinaus zeigen die Befunde, dass religiös-kulturelle Faktoren auf der Netzwerkebene bei der Familienplanung eine maßgebliche Rolle spielen." (Verlagsangabe)

Should governments in Europe be more aggressive in pushing for gender equality to
raise fertility? : the first "NO"
Autor/in:
Philipov, Dimiter
Quelle: Demographic Research, Vol. 24 (2011) , S. 201-216
Inhalt: "This paper takes the 'no' side in the debate on the question posed in the title.
The paper assumes that the dual-earner/ dual-carer household model is the most likely
aim of policies that push aggressively for gender equality in order to raise fertility.
Five objections are discussed: the model does not necessarily lead to a fertility
increase; aggressiveness will lead to an imbalance of labor supply and demand, and
is likely to confront slowly changing cultural norms; similar policies will also confront
the issue of innate gender differences; and country idiosyncrasies prevent the application
of a unified policy approach. The paper briefly concludes that compatible gender-neutral
family policies and fertility-neutral gender policies are likely to lead to an increase
in fertility." (author's abstract)|

Inhalt: "This paper is based on the authoress's contribution to a debate, organized by MPIDR,
on the question displayed in the title above. She was asked to present arguments for
the 'yes'-response (together with Laurent Toulemon, and arguing against the 'no'-side
represented by Gerda Neyer and Dimiter Philipov). As pointed out in the paper, the
most important theoretical reasoning relevant for this question is the gender equity
theory. A number of studies provide sound empirical support to it, as discussed in
the paper in details, and thereby also a rationale for a positive impact of increased
gender equality on fertility. As the dual-earner family is here to stay, and given
the well-known negative consequences of long-term very low fertility for a society,
pushing for gender equality seems to be a reasonable strategy to be considered aiming
for sustainable societal development." (author's abstract)|

Inhalt: "This paper argues against the suggestion that governments should push for gender equality more aggressively in order to raise fertility. The paper presents a threefold 'no' to this proposal. It takes issue with the goal of raising fertility, arguing that the claims that fertility must be increased are based on myths. It rejects a more aggressive pursuit of gender equality for demographic purposes, maintaining that this method preserves inequality. It warns against using gender equality for fertility purposes, stating that this narrows the realm of gender equality. The paper is based on a debate held at the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research in Rostock, at which the author was asked to argue against the gender equality-fertility proposal. The other participants in the debate were Laurent Toulemon ('yes'), Dimiter Philipov ('no'), and Livia Oláh ('yes')." (author's abstract)

Inhalt: Die Beiträge dieses von den Verfassern herausgegebenen Sammelbandes, die in dieser Einleitung im Einzelnen dokumentiert werden, stellen eine Verbindung zwischen dem Diskurs zum demografischen Wandel und den Diskursen zu Geschlechtsverhältnissen sowie zum Wohlfahrtsstaat her. Die einzelnen Beiträge gruppieren sich zu drei thematischen Schwerpunkten: (1) Theorie und Politik des demografischen Wandels; (2) wirtschaftliche Aspekte des demografischen Wandels; (3) symbolische Felder des demografischen Wandels.

Inhalt: "Demographic change in Europe has been a topic of great public and political interest since the 1990s. The central aim of this book is to create new questions for research by connecting the topics of demographic change, of the restructuring of the welfare state and of change in gender relations. The articles have a closer look at the interrelation of these social and political changes by highlighting different national situations as well as different theoretical and empirical aspects. They try to reframe the 'problem' of demographic change by analyzing it in the context of gender and welfare state transformations." (author's abstract).
