Panel data collected on youth ages 18 to 31 via The Intergenerational Panel Study of Parents and Children (IPSPC), youth ages 14 to 45 via the NLSY79, and youth ages 14 to 25 via the NLSY97 are used to assess the following research questions: (1) Do fertility intentions for childless, small, average, and large family size emerge in adolescence or earlier? (2) To what extent do family-of-origin, demographic, and individual factors differentially predict family size fertility intentions? (3) How persistent are fertility intentions and does stability differ as a function of family size intentions, especially for those who intend permanent childlessness? |
