Short-Term Fertility Intentions and Subsequent Outcomes over the Life Course Presented: Washington DC, Population Association of America Annual Meeting, March-April 2016 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Fertility; Life Course Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Fertility intentions have been considered one of the important determinants of fertility behaviors, but their predictive power remains obscure. This study is to explore the predictive strength of fertility intentions and how it changes over the life course. With the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979, I analyze repeated fertility intentions that predict an actual childbearing outcome in two years. In this study, the two-year time frame of the intention-behavior sequence is repeated until the end of reproductive span, representing the dynamic decision-making process for childbearing through the life course. The link between fertility intentions and subsequent outcomes in two years significantly differ by direction and clarity of intentions, and these relations also systematically change with age, probably due to social and biological factors. This study provides how the explanatory power of fertility intentions changes over the life course and how that differs by level of education. |
