Résumé
This study examines the causes of fertility variation across settlements. We use longitudinal register data from Finland and apply event-history analysis. Our analysis shows that fertility levels are the highest in small towns and rural areas and the lowest in the capital city, as expected. The socio-economic characteristics of women and selective migrations account for a small portion of fertility variation across settlements. Housing conditions explain a significant portion of urban-rural fertility variation for first birth, but little variation for second and third birth. Significant spatial fertility variation after controlling for housing conditions suggests that there are also contextual effects.
