Intergenerational transmission of fertility decisions in Spain

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to analyze whether parents' fertility decisions may be an important determinant of the future fertility decisions of their children in Spain. To address this issue, we use data from the Survey of Living Conditions (2011). Our results confirm the intergenerational transmission of fertility decisions in Spain. The higher the parents’ number of children, the higher the number of children that individuals have.
