Cercant els determinants de la baixa fecunditat a la Unió Europea: la distribució per gènere de les responsabilitats familiars
Year: 2014
Type: article
Abstract: The European Union Eurobarometer is a survey covering all the Member States carried out twice a year to obtain a broader acquaintance of the opinions of Europeans on specific issues of interest for EU policymakers .For instance, in Standard Eurobarometer 56 .2(2001) the former EU-15 Member State respondents were asked about current and ideal fertility .These questions were asked again the following year in the 13 former candidate countries (including Turkey); therefore, results are presently available for 28 countries .Several other more recent Eurobarometers also included questions on how family responsibilities were distributed among men and women .This article analyses all of these results with the intention of assessing whether or not low fertility and task-sharing are interrelated in any way because, although women are still responsible for most reproductive tasks, they are also increasingly incorporated into the labour market .The findings obtained run counter to initial expectations: present-day fertility is poorly and negatively correlated to a more egalitarian division of domestic work .Keywords: fertility,
