3 ERC Starting Grant Project Fertility, reproduction and population change in 21 st Century Europe (EURREP)

4 EURREP project ( ): brief intro

5 Project team Tomas SOBOTKA (PI) PhD, University of Groningen (NL) Zuzanna BRZOZOWSKA PhD student (Warsaw School of Economics) Eva BEAUJOUAN PhD, Université Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne INED, Paris Caroline BERGHAMMER PhD, University of Vienna Anna MATYSIAK Assistant Professor (Warsaw School of Economics) Krystof ZEMAN PhD (Charles University)

6 EURREP project: brief introduction Key research areas Theme 1: Understanding fertility change in contemporary Europe Theme 2: Fertility ideals and intentions: aggregate patterns Theme 3: Fertility, migration and population change Theme 4: Expanding and sustaining new data infrastructure Project & team info, publications, news:

7 Project: Main features, novelty Comparative perspective, between countries and between regions (also going beyond Europe) Education as a key stratifying factor in fertility and family behavior Disaggregation of total fertility by birth order components Linking theories & empirical analysis: the role of the gender revolution, labour market changes, economic recession, family instability Communication of results: Databases, Data sheets, Website (including most papers and presentations (>90)), Research Brief, Open-access publications, Press releases and Media communication Societal relevance; European population prospects Novelty, cross-cutting issues Methodology: discussing new indicators of fertility and population replacement Cross-cutting topics: Migration and population replacement; Assisted reproduction and fertility

8 Questions, issues analysed Does education continue being important determinant of fertility behavior in rich countries? Do fertility preferences differ by education? Is advancing gender revolution closely linked to family changes? How did childlessness evolve among women born in the last century? Do migrant women in Europe converge in their fertility behavior to the native women? What is the future of fertility in rich, low-fertility countries? What is the role of assisted reproduction in the trend to delayed parenthood? What is the effect of economic recession on fertility and marriage in Europe? Which family size drives the shift to very low fertility in different regions? Are family size ideals in Europe stable?

9

10 Selected highlights

11 Highlight 1: Fertility preferences: What do men and women in Europe want? 2 kids, typically ideally a boy and a girl.

22 Selected Challenges

23 Institutional support at home/host institution Bureaucracy Burden of financial reporting and bookkeeping Audits can be strict Rules can be made more complicated by the host institution Need for excellent admin. staff! Work & travel records Stipulated by ERC rules + rules of the host institution Might be unnecessarily complex (lack of trust) and at times obscure Travel and work: things you are not supposed to do Consider not working 100% on the project Need to focus Team dynamics
