  • Title: [Number of children of Turks and Moroccans in the Netherlands].
    Author: Van Hoorn WD.
    Journal: Maandstat Bevolking; 1987 Sep; 35(9):15-20. PubMed ID: 12314889.
    Abstract:
    A multivariate analysis of the 1984 Quality of Life-Survey, which was held among Turkish and Moroccan heads of households in the Netherlands, shows that their fertility is affected by factors concerning their native country as well as by some aspects of life in the Netherlands. A low current number of children is associated with a higher education in the native country, an urban background and no strong commitment to Islam. In addition, the marital status at immigration and the nationality of the woman also show a particular correlation with the fertility. Some socio-cultural characteristics such as the woman's work and house-ownership also have a certain association with the family size. The likelihood of further declines in fertility among Turks and Moroccans living in the Netherlands is discussed.
