ABSTRACT Despite important variations in regional family systems, little research has been done to assess the effects of these differences on fertility and thus on families’ economic status. Even less attention has been paid to the effects of deviating from these regionally embedded norms in terms of network compositions. People's social networks may not conform to the region's view of the ideal family, while this could have important implications for their fertility behaviour. To fill this knowledge gap, this paper aims to answer two questions: to what extent do family systems shape family size, and to what extent do deviations from regional family system norms in terms of social network composition result in differences in completed fertility? To answer these questions, we use the first two waves of the ‘Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement’ and derive indicators describing regional family systems and people's social networks. We test the influence of these covariates on the completed fertility of cohorts born between 1920 and 1960 in 13 European countries. Our results show that family system norms, and deviations from them in terms of specific social networks, play an important role in determining family size.

在1920年至1960年之间出生的欧洲人中,家庭系统,社交网络和生育力之间的相互作用
摘要尽管区域家庭系统发生了重大变化,但很少进行研究来评估这些差异对生育率进而对家庭经济状况的影响。就网络组成而言,对这些偏离区域嵌入规范的影响的关注甚至更少。人们的社交网络可能不符合该地区对理想家庭的看法,但是这可能对他们的生育行为产生重要影响。为了填补这一知识鸿沟,本文旨在回答两个问题:家庭系统在多大程度上影响家庭规模;在社会网络组成方面偏离区域家庭系统规范的程度在多大程度上导致完全生育力的差异?为了回答这些问题,我们使用了“健康调查”的前两波,老龄化和退休”,并得出描述区域家庭体系和人们社交网络的指标。我们测试了这些协变量对1920年至1960年间在13个欧洲国家出生的队列的完整生育力的影响。我们的结果表明,家庭系统规范以及在特定社交网络方面的偏离在确定家庭规模方面起着重要作用。
