It includes an introduction to the post-war migration history of Germany and a thorough review of the international literature on fertility of migrants and cultural sub-groups. The author uses data from the German Socio-economic Panel Study and applies event-history techniques to test a set of competing hypotheses derived from the literature. The analysis finds evidence for the effects of adaptation, socialization and composition, as well as for an interrelation of events. It does not however find evidence for a disruptive influence of migration on childbearing behavior. The book shows the advantages of a longitudinal research design over the conventional cross-sectional approach and sets a new standard for research on the fertility of international migrants and their descendants in western European receiving societies. . 410 0$aDemographic research monographs. 606 $aFertility, Human$zGermany 606 $aImmigrants$zGermany 615 0$aFertility, Human 615 0$aImmigrants 676 $a304.63208900943 700 $aMilewski$b Nadja$0860497 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910140572803321 996 $aFertility of Immigrants$91919844 997 $aUNINA
