ETHNIC DIFFERENCES IN FERTILITY TRANSITION IN TURKEY Political Demography: Ethnic, National and Religious Dimensions Session I : Differential Fertility I (LSD: Room S50 ) September 29, 2006 Sutay Yavuz Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research, Rostock/Germany (PhD Candidate)

ETHNIC DIFFERENCES IN FERTILITY TRANSITION IN TURKEY 1. Introduction: Fertility Transition 2. Brief information on Ethnic Composition 3. Differential Fertility Behavior of Ethnic Groups: Period Fertility Measures and Childbearing Behavior 4.The threshold in Fertility Transition: Determinants of the Third Births by Ethnicity 5. Conclusion

Introduction: Fertility Transition The natural fertility: the reproductive behavior characterized by the absence of deliberate birth control. The modern family limitation: fertility behavior turns into a matter of the calculus choice. Natural Fertility Modern Fertility Behavior Fertility Transition: natural fertility behavior shifts to modern family limitation (parity-specific birth limitation ) MODERNIZATION (?) Mortality decline Socio-economic development Innovation & Diffusion Institutional change Early Stage Early Stage: Increasing age at marriage Celibacy Traditional contraceptive methods: Withdrawal Late Stage Late Stage: Modern contraceptive methods Postponement and limiting of births

Fertility Transition in Turkey - I 2.1 Total Fertility Rate: The average number of children that would be born alive to a woman (or group of women) during her lifetime if she were to pass through her childbearing years conforming to the age-specific fertility rates of a given year. Replacement level fertility: 2.1 children per woman's life time. 2 children to replace the parents, with one-tenth of a child extra to make up for the mortality of children

Differential Fertility Behavior of Ethnic Groups: Age Specific Fertility Rates Age Specific Fertility Rate ( ) By Mother Tongue (Turkey TFR is 2.2) Age Specific Fertility Rate (ASFR): The number of live births to women in a specified age group and period per 1,000 women in the same age group.

Fertility Differentials : Welfare Status and Ethnicity Total Fertility Rate: The average number of children that would be born alive to a woman

Fertility Differentials: Education Level and Ethnicity Total Fertility Rate: The average number of children that would be born alive to a woman

General Pattern of Childbearing Patterns by Ethnicity Turkish Kurdish (don't know T.) Kurdish (knows T.)ArabOther M * – – – – – – – – – M* refers to marriage (parity 0). Source: TDHS-2003 data file (own estimation) Cumulative proportion of ever-married women who progress to next parity within five years of the previous birth, by the mother tongue of women.

Threshold in Fertility Transition: Third Birth The progression from second to third birth is as a critical component of the fertility transition. The third births were seen as a marker of a strong two-child family norm in modern societies As two-child family norm is becoming more and more widespread, the third child mothers are forming a special group with different motivations and fertility ideals. We use event-history approach for examining the determinants of the third births; (piecewise constant) proportional-hazard (or intensity-regression) models. Data is originated from 2003 Turkey Demographic and Health Survey How progression risks (intensities) are dependent on different combinations of characteristics of the women?

Threshold in Fertility Transition: Third Birth A relative risk of 1 for the level of a covariate indicates that the estimated third birth risk is the same as that of the reference group of the same covariate. A relative risk estimated to be greater (smaller) than 1 indicates a higher (lower) third birth risk than for the reference category. A woman’s third birth risk is defined as the probability that she will experience a third birth the next month, given her individual characteristics and given that she has not had such a birth by the beginning of the month.

Threshold in Fertility Transition: Third Birth The progression to a third birth, as with any other type of life-course transition, does not occur at random or in isolation, but in relation to certain to structures in society. Thus we cover certain areas of life that assumed to be related fertility behavior of women: 1. Childhood Socialization 2. Socio-economic Characteristics 3. First Marriage Specific Cultural Characteristics 4. Past Fertility Experience 5. Husband Charactersitics 6. Context Variables

Conclusion The fertility behavior turns out to be parity specific limitation behavior for Turkish speaker women after parity one and more significantly, after the parity two. The educated Turkish women may be now ‘pioneer’ of the lowest-low fertility behavior. In contrast, the Kurdish speaker women who do not speak Turkish, could not read and who did not work, married traditionally compose ‘laggard’ group in fertility transition process of Turkey. The results can be seen as supportive of the argument that the segments of the population that have been more integrated into social, economic and political modernization and urbanization trends are changing their fertility behavior more rapidly. The socio-economic determinants of important however effect is modified by mother tongue (ethnicity) and cultural characteristics (dimensions of the patriarchy) The fertility dynamics of Kurdish parents is an important factor in determining when and how the demographic transition in Turkey will be completed
