• The Emergence of Lowest‐Low Fertility in Europe During the 1990s (2002, background): “…in lowest-low-fertility contexts, the biological, social, and economic incentives for childbearing are sufficiently strong that most women (or couples) desire to have at least one child (for related discussions, see, e.g., Foster 2000; Morgan and King 2001; Kohler, Rodgers, and Christensen 1999).”
• Future fertility in low fertility countries (2014, background): “Other contributions that take for granted that parenthood and nurturing care about offspring provide a unique experience that is desirable for most individuals suggest that the preference for having one child might be the most rational outcome, also considering the emphasis on the “quality” of child”
• Low fertility in Europe: causes implications and policy options. (2006, background): “…on childlessness therefore suggest that even in lowest-low fertility contexts, the biological , social and economic incentives for children are sufficiently strong that most women (or couples) desire to have at least one child (e.g., Foster 2000; Kohler and Behrman 2003; Morgan and King 2001).”
• Explaining fertility: The potential for integrative approaches (2015, background): “…post-transitional societies is unlikely to fall any lower because women have a biologically-based predisposition toward nurturing or maternal behavior that interacts with environmental stimuli, resulting, in most cases, in a conscious motivation for bearing at least one child” (Foster 2000: 214).”
