Completing the fertility transition: Third birth developments by languagegroups in Turkey
نویسنده
چکیده
The purpose of the present study is to examine third birth dynamics by mother tongue group in Turkey, a country that has reached the advanced stage of its fertility transition. Third-birth intensities of Turkish speaking mothers are lower than Kurdish speaking mothers and the decline in fertility started much later for the latter group. Kurdish speaking women who cannot read and who live in more customary marriages have the highest third birth risk. We demonstrate that to understand contemporary fertility change in Turkey, it is necessary to consider a combination of individual socioeconomic and cultural factors. 1 PhD Student ,Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research,.Konrad-Zuse-Str. 1, 18057 Rostock, Germany.
