The impact of family policies on fertility in industrialized countries: a review of the literature (2007, background): “In other words, countries that display a high level of female labor force participation nowadays are also those that display a higher level of fertility (Brewster and Rindfuss 2000; Billari and Kohler 2004).”
On the Changing Correlation Between Fertility and Female Employment over Space and Time (2002, background): “…the emerging alternative hypothesis in the demography literature is that societal level responses have eased the incompatibility between childrearing and female employment (Brewster and Rindfuss, 2000; Engelhardt et al., 2004; Pampel, 2001; Rindfuss et al., 2003; Rindfuss and Brewster, 1996).”
Gender Equality and Fertility: Which Equality Matters? (2013, neutral): “These theoretical assumptions are partly confirmed by empirical macrolevel studies which show that the negative association between female labor-force participation and fertility has weakened over time or even changed to a positive one (Brewster and Rindfuss 2000; Ahn and Mira 2002; Engelhardt, Köge”
Do Cross-National Differences in the Costs of Children Generate Cross-National Differences in Fertility Rates? (2003, background): “industrialized societies, (Rindfuss et al. 2003; Pampel 2001; Brewster & Rindfuss 2000; Rindfuss & Brewster 1996), any universal trends in this direction are clearly proceeding at different rates in different countries (Engelhardt et al. 2001; Kogel 2002).”
Regional Social Contexts and Individual Fertility Decisions: A Multilevel Analysis of First and Second Births in Western Germany (2001, neutral): “women (see Brewster and Rindfuss 2000 for a comprehensive overview).”
Gender-Based Employment and Income Differences in Urban China: Considering the Contributions of Marriage and Parenthood (2008, background): “…in other East Asian countries have often been cited as a significant factor determining Marriage, Parenthood and Labor Outcomes in China • 1553 whether and in what capacity women work (Tsuya and Choe 2004; for a discussion of Japan in comparative perspective, see Brewster and Rindfuss 2000).”
Why do people postpone parenthood? Reasons and social policy incentives. (2011, background): “Within the sociological literature the focus is on the incompatibility between caring for children and participation in the paid labour force (Brewster and Rindfuss, 2000).”
Gender equity and fertility intentions in Italy and the Netherlands (2008, background): “Moreover, high female employment rates can combined with combination of paid work and parenthood (Bernhardt, 1993; Brewster & Rindfuss, 2000).”
Gender Equity and Fertility in Italy and Spain (2009, background): “Welfare state provisions in the Scandinavian countries and market services in the English-speaking countries supportive of maternal employment are credited for this trend reversal (Brewster and Rindfuss, 2000; Sleebos, 2003).”
Low fertility in Europe: causes implications and policy options. (2006, result): “This finding is also confirmed in regression-based analyses (Brewster and Rindfuss 2000; Esping-Andersen 1999), where the labor force participation of women has a positive (and significant) influence on the total fertility in cross-sectional analyses of OECD countries in the 1990s, while comparable ”
Family policies in developed countries: a ‘fertility-booster’ with side-effects (2011, background): “Here again, an international comparison suggests a strong correlation between fertility rates and attendance at formal childcare by children aged under three, although a causal link is not always clearly identified (Castles, 2003; Di Prete, Engelhardt, Morgan, & Pacalova, 2002).(4) D’Addio and Mira ”
Fertility Decline in Russia in the Early and Mid 1990s: The Role of Economic Uncertainty and Labour Market Crises (2002, result): “This effect is also quite in contrast to the increasing evidence that female labour market participation and labour market opportunities may be positively associated with fertility in Western industrialized countries (Brewster and Rindfuss, 2000; Hoem, 2000).”
Did the association between fertility and female employment within OECD countries really change its sign? (2001, methodology): “Further, I am grateful to two anonymous referees for very useful suggestions that improved essentially the content of the paper.”
