“…WE men and women generally report higher perceived costs of additional children and more modern family values, and WE regions are characterized by a higher prevalence of part-time employment and female political participation, and a lower prevalence of religiousness, which all are associated with higher levels of practicing modern contraception. At the same time, this rigid division between East and West tends to ignore the regional variation across European countries (Troitskaia et al 2009). At the least, our results underline that future research would benefit from paying attention to a complex set of individual as well as contextual incentives and barriers that may play a role in opting for certain contraceptive methods.…”

“…This ''East-West divide'' in contraceptive prevalence results from divergent historical trends between the two regions (Lesthaeghe 2000;Troitskaia et al 2009). In WE, the transition toward the dominant use of modern contraception by the majority of the population-also termed the ''contraceptive revolution'' (Westoff and Ryder 1977)-took place during the 1960s and 1970s (Frejka 2008).…”

Ready, Willing, and Able: Contraceptive Use Patterns Across Europe

2016

An ''East-West'' divide in contraceptive use patterns has been identified across Europe, with Western European countries characterized by the widespread use of modern contraception, and Central and Eastern European countries characterized by a high prevalence of withdrawal, the rhythm method, or abortion. Building on the Ready-Willing-Able framework, this study aims to gain more insight into the microand macro-level socioeconomic, cultural, and technological determinants underlying contraceptive use. Data from the Generations and Gender Survey (2004-2011) covering four Western and seven Central and Eastern European countries are used, and multinomial multilevel analyses are performed. Results reveal that individuals who intend to delay parenthood are more likely to use any contraceptive method, whereas holding more traditional values and having a lower socioeconomic status are associated with a higher likelihood of using no or only traditional methods. Regional reproductive rights and gender equality interact in complex ways with these associations. At minimum, our results underline the complexity of the processes underlying the persistent difference in contraceptive use across Europe.

“…Not surprisingly, such dramatic changes are accompanied by transformations in their sexual, contraceptive, marital and reproductive behaviors, healthy lifestyles, etc., which become more individualized, with a wider choice of strategies (Golod 2005;Zakharov 2007a;Blum et al 2009;Troitskaia et al 2009;Denisov et al 2012;Puur et al 2012;Mitrofanova 2013;Biryukova/Tyndik 2015;Vishnevsky et al 2017;Zakharov/Mitrofanova 2018;Radaev 2020;Andreev et al 2022).

Three Decades on Russia’s Path of the Second Demographic Transition: How Patterns of Fertility are Changing Under an Unstable Demographic Policy

This study aims to highlight the changes in fertility patterns of Russians which occurred after the USSR’s dissolution or disintegration, taking a long historical perspective. After that disruption, thirty cohorts were born and raised who never lived under the Soviet system. Fifteen more cohorts (those who were born between 1975 and 1990) remember that system only as a part of childhood, but their adult life started after the iron curtain had fallen and a flood of new ideas and practices spilled into all spheres of life. At the same time, the increased concern among the Russian elite about the declining population and low birth rates led to the adoption of a pronatalist family policy based on monetarist approaches reinforced by conservative-traditionalist ideology. Our main research question asks: To what extent did state social and family policies in Russia, which are based on the ideology of traditionalism and conservatism, derail or slow down the modernization of the quantitative and structural parameters of fertility patterns within the Second Demographic Transition context? Our analysis is based on indicators from period and cohort fertility tables, specific for age and parity. Extrapolations are used for Russia’s female cohorts born 1971-1994 to arrive at expected ultimate fertility outcomes. Our evidence, obtained from the comprehensive analysis of fertility tables, reveals that the transformation of the Russian fertility model continues to be in line with the Second Demographic Transition common to developed countries, and that two decades of active pronatalist policy in the context of strengthening the conservative family ideology did not stop the modernization of fertility patterns. * This article belongs to a special issue on “Demographic Developments in Eastern and Western Europe Before and After the Transformation of Socialist Countries”.

“…In the late 1980s, the East-West divide by birth control was identified in Europe as both parts differed by contraceptive practices and abortion rates [1]. This East-West divide resulted from divergent historical trends between the two regions [2]. 'Abortion culture' was the term used to characterise the nature of birth regulating behaviour in the formerly socialist countries of Soviet bloc, that is, Eastern Europe, up to the end of the 1980s [3,4].…”

In the late 1980s, the East-West divide by birth control was identified in Europe as both parts differed by contraceptive practices and abortion rates. The aim of this chapter is to investigate changes in abortion behaviour and 'whether the East-West divide in abortion behaviour remained relevant by 2009'. As the large variation in terms of abortion rates and contraceptive patterns is still identified in Europe, we want to investigate 'to what extent it has reflected in the birth control patterns'. The main results could be summed up as follows: (1) the East-West divide in abortion behaviour was distorted, but not fully eliminated. Besides the former Eastern and Western abortion patterns, the new 'low abortion' pattern has emerged. (2) Within the EU countries, convergent trends towards lower abortion level were identified since 1990. However, as regards the structure of abortions, a pattern of divergence has been apparent due to differences in transition to modern contraception use. (3) The use of modern methods of contraception rather depends on structural macrolevel factors and contextual incentives and barriers as the impact of individual characteristics on the use of contraception does not differ much between countries u nder s t udy.
