Residence Exposure and Fertility Expectations of Young Mormon and Non-Mormon Women in Utah Journal of Marriage and Family 47,2 (May 1985): 459-465. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/352144 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: National Council on Family Relations Keyword(s): Family Size; Fertility; Religious Influences; Residence; Women; Women's Roles; Women's Studies Utah's fertility rate is about double the nation's, and it increased during the 1970s as the nation's fertility declined. The fertility expectations of young non-Mormon females living in this setting (2.4 children) resemble those of young females in the nation as a whole, rather than the expectations of the young Mormon females in Utah (4.4 children). Significant differences between Utah's young Mormon and non-Mormon females remain after adjusting for other variables. These findings suggest: (1) that residence in a high fertility area per se does not affect fertility; and (2) that Mormon/non-Mormon fertility differences are likely to persist into the foreseeable future. The principal data for this study comes from a Utah survey. Secondary data from the 1979 NLSY are added for comparative reasons. |
