“…In terms of behavior, women working in agriculture also contributed to the reduction of fertility gap, while those employed in services helped to increase fertility gap. The relationship between women's occupation and fertility is quite mixed in the literature (Schockaert, 2005). However, it should be noted that many studies have concluded that women's participation in the labor market in developed countries favors lower fertility (Van and Maertens, 2015;Michaud & Tatsiramos, 2011).…”

“…The economic theory based on the consumption considers the demand for children depends on the mother's occupation but also the way of time allocation in the household (Becker, 1965). The recent investigation of the impact of mother's occupation on fertility show that the relationship between women's occupation and fertility is mixed (Schockaert, 2005). The 1987 United Nations study, based on global fertility surveys conducted in the 1970s, estimates the effect of female employment type on fertility.…”

The paper proposes to clarify whether fertility decline in Burkina Faso between 2003 and 2015 is explained by the differential distributions (composition effect and response effect) with focus on socioeconomic status (women’s education, women’s occupation and poverty). Using data from 2003 demographic and health survey (DHS) and 2015 demographic and health module of the Multisectoral Continuous Survey, we applied an extension of Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition approach to quantify the percentage of fertility decline attributable to distribution of the socio-economic status (composition effect) and the percentage attributable to women’s fertility behavior (response effect) attributable to socio-economic status. We find the fertility decline is mainly explain to changes in the distribution of women according the different factors. Indeed, the composition effect represents 88% and only 12% for the response effect. Moreover, composition effect for socio-economic factors is estimated to 85.13% and the response effect is estimated to 34.23%. These results suggest (i) to encourage girl’s education by enrolling them in school but particularly by ensuring that they go at least to secondary school; (ii) create a minimum package of services for the promotion of modern methods of contraception, particularly for women working in agriculture and trade sector as well as those from poor households and living in rural areas; (iii) promote domestic work to allow more women to be interested.

“…The conflict between childrearing and labour force participation was likely to be more acute in urban areas, especially among recently arrived migrant couples from rural areas. In cities, daily commutes to work are necessary, whereas in rural areas, the household and the place of work are more likely to coincide (Hervitz 1985 ; Schockaert 2005 ). Moreover, multigenerational households are more prevalent in rural than in urban areas, which suggests that kinship support for childbearing and childrearing may favour the coexistence of relatively high fertility and labour force participation (Bongaarts 2001 ; De Vos 1995 ).…”

Theories of demographic change have not paid enough attention to how factors associated with fertility decline play different roles across social classes that are defined multidimensionally. I use a multidimensional definition of social class along with information on the reproductive histories of women born between 1920 and 1965 in six Latin American countries to show the following: the enduring connection between social stratification and fertility differentials, the concomitance of diverse fertility decline trajectories by class, and the role of within- and between-class social distances in promoting/preventing ideational change towards the acceptance of lower fertility. These results enable me to revisit the scope of theories of fertility change and to provide an explanatory narrative centred on empirically constructed social classes (probable social classes) and the macro- and micro-level conditions that influenced their life courses. I use 21 census samples collected between 1970 and 2005 in Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Paraguay.
