“…A second proximate factor, patterns of sexual behavior, also showed little change in most countries, suggesting that the proportion at risk of pregnancy either increased or remained stable. 27 Contraceptive use, a third proximate determinant of the fertility rate, may have contributed to fewer teenage births. In France, pill use among adolescents relying on reversible methods greatly increased during the period 1968-1988; pill use among adolescents probably continued to increase up to 1994, based on the reported pattern for adult women in 1994.…”

The trend toward lower adolescent birthrates and pregnancy rates over the past 25 years is widespread and is occurring across the industrialized world, suggesting that the reasons for this general trend are broader than factors limited to any one country: increased importance of education, increased motivation of young people to achieve higher levels of education and training, and greater centrality of goals other than motherhood and family formation for young women.

“…We present an application to age at …rst sexual intercourse of Italian men and women. For behaviors such as …rst sexual intercourse, where Italy is a relatively traditional country according to Western standards, though large and relatively stable di¤erentials also exist betwen countries (Bozon and Kontula, 1997). Cultural components such as social norms, religiosity, and long-standing family structures play a key role in shaping geographical di¤erences in the timing of the …rst sexual intercourse (see e.g.…”

The aim of this paper is mainly a methodological one. We used individual-level retrospective data from the Italian Fertility and Family survey, based on the information provided by respondents. Linking individual-level data with geographical characteristics of the community, we …rstly used non-parametric methods, and in particular the bi-dimensional LOESS (Locally weighted regression) method, to build smoothed maps of the transition to …rst sexual intercourse. Secondly, we used a discrete-time multilevel event-history model (with logit speci…cation), allowing for the presence of unobserved heterogeneity at the municipality level. We used 'latitude', 'longitude', and dimension of the municipality as aggregate-level explanatory variables in the model. Thus, we could build spatial pro…les and a map, using predicted values for the logodds-ratio, and we could study cohort dynamics too. Our results con…rm that Italy is a heterogeneous country; when looking at age at the …rst sexual intercourse, women are more in ‡uenced by their context than men.
