Second Birth Fertility in Germany: Social Class, Gender, and the Role of Economic Uncertainty
Abstract: This study uses a gender and class perspective to study rates of progression to the second birth in Germany. Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel for the period 1990- 2020, we distinguish individuals by whether they are in (a) higher managerial/professional, (b) lower managerial/ professional, (c) skilled manual/higher routine nonmanual, or (d) the nonskilled manual/lower routine nonmanual classes. Our analysis reveals strongly elevated second birth rates among men and women in the managerial classes. We also show that upward mobility after the first birth is associated with higher second birth rates, particularly among men
