“…For example, Andersson (2004) showed that migration and fertility are interrelated: during the first years after migration to Sweden, immigrant women had a higher risk of giving birth to their first child. Similar results were shown for Italy when, following the 2003 female immigrant cohort from Romania, Morocco, and Albania, Mussino and Strozza (2012a) found a clear pattern in the timing of motherhood for the different types of migration, as well as strong differences by citizenship. Among the immigrants" characteristics influencing fertility, emphasis has been on their country of origin, which is often considered a proxy for their cultural heritage (Gabrielli, Paterno, and Strozza 2007;Milewski 2007;Schoorl 1990).…”

“…Thus persons from different geographical origins may show differences in reproductive behavior in the same country of destination (Bijwaard 2010). This is particularly true for the Italian context, where previous studies have mainly described the wide variety of origins (Paterno, Strozza, and Terzera 2006;Mussino and Strozza 2012a). However, the above studies and most of the literature on this topic have focused on post-immigration fertility, while the present work allows us to follow the women for the entire fertility and migratory transition.…”

“…(Mussino and Strozza 2012a have found similar peaks in data for immigrants in Italy.) In the curve for immigrants from low-HDI non-European countries in Figure 2, the peak is replaced by an upward jump in the year subsequent to the year of immigration, followed by a slow decline until we stop accounting for the cumulated fertility at a duration of seven years.…”

“…Una posible explicación es el efecto de interrupción. Estudios anteriores han planteado que la fecundidad en los primeros años después de la llegada está fuertemente condicionada por la motivación de la migración: cuando la migración tiene como objetivo la reunificación con una pareja, se observa una fecundidad excepcionalmente alta tras la llegada, mientras que si la migración tiene un carácter laboral, el efecto de interrupción es dominante (Castro y Rosero-Bixby, 2011;Mussino y Strozza, 2012). Por lo tanto, aquí se propone que este último mecanismo puede ser una posible explicación de los resultados observados para las inmigrantes recientes.…”

“…Cuando esta se asocia a razones familiares, es decir, cuando las mujeres migran con el propósito de unirse a su pareja en el país receptor, es posible que concentren su período reproductivo en los años inmediatamente posteriores a la migración, en particular si no han tenido hijos previamente. En cambio, las mujeres que emigran principalmente por razones de empleo, sobre todo si son la principal fuente de ingresos de la familia, pueden postergar la maternidad incluso hasta algunos años después de la migración (Mussino y Strozza, 2012).…”
