• The fertility response to the Great Recession in Europe and the United States : Structural economic conditions and perceived economic uncertainty (2017, background): “…more strongly (negatively) associated with fertility, suggesting, as already found elsewhere (Ahn and Mira 2002; Rindfuss, Guzzo, and Morgan 2003; Engelhardt and Prskawetz 2004; Engelhardt, Kögel, and Prskawetz 2004), that labor market participation is nowadays important for fertility and women…”
• Uncertainties in Female Employment Careers and the Postponement of Parenthood in Germany (2010, background): “According to the economic approach, female education, income, and employment increase the opportunity costs of childrearing and result in lower fertility (Lehrer and Nerlove, 1986; Becker, 1993, p. 140; Engelhardt and Prskawetz, 2004).”
• Fertility, female labor force participation, and the demographic dividend (2009, unknown): “For example, a decrease in φ, the time cost of labor in an urban setting, can increase both fertility and female labor supply, which is consistent with the positive correlation between female labor supply and fertility in OECD countries found by Engelhardt and Prskawetz (2004).”
