“…Overall, union formation and dissolution processes among natives and immigrants in Spain diverge from what has been described in the literature for Western and Northern European countries (Andersson, Obućina, and Scott 2015;Hannemann and Kulu 2015;Pailhé 2015) for the last decades. The unique migration history and development of union patterns make Spain an interesting case for future research.…”

“…Religiosity has a stronger positive effect on the fertility of children of immigrants from Turkey for the first birth and for descendants of Maghrebian immigrants for higher birth orders. Other studies have shown that religiosity strongly affects partnership formation patterns (Pailhé 2015), and thus is indirectly linked to fertility.…”

“…The higher propensity for women of Turkish descent to have a first child compared to native French women (Model 1) decreases once partnership formation is controlled for (Model 2), meaning that part of their higher first birth rate is linked to their early union formation (see Pailhé 2015). Differentials in cultural background across groups of origin are key factors in shaping this gap.…”

BACKGROUNDThe fertility of immigrants' descendants is an important topic for demographers, since it affects the structure of the future population. However, little attention has been devoted to the fertility behaviour of the second generation in Europe. OBJECTIVEThis study analyses the degree to which fertility of the descendants of immigrants is similar to that of French natives. It evaluates the extent to which the observed differences arise from the sociocultural distance between parents' country and host country and from structural determinants. METHODSWe analyse the transition to first, second, and third births among different groups of immigrants' daughters (from the Maghreb, sub-Saharan Africa, Turkey, and Southeast Asia), and compare them to native-born women using discrete-time logistic regressions. The data is drawn from the Trajectories and Origins Survey (2008), which oversamples immigrants and their descendants. RESULTSWe show a convergence towards French standards that differs across groups of origin. Women of Southeast Asian descent deviate from the fertility pattern of their parents, while those of Turkish descent preserve their parents' cultural heritage. These different paths of adaptation between groups partly reflect cultural distance between parents' country and host country. They also depend on family social capital, family structure, and family values. Access to a higher level of education is a crucial factor in erasing differences between groups. CONCLUSIONSThe fertility behaviour of most groups of descendants of immigrants is converging

“…However, the study by Pailhé (2015) shows that the patterns differ significantly by population subgroup. For the native French population, she observes a clear change from direct marriage to cohabitation as the dominant mode of partnership formation, whereas many immigrants still show a high risk of direct marriage, particularly those from the Maghreb region and Turkey.…”
