Abstract

During the Covid-19 pandemic, the Norwegian government imposed a lockdown to prevent the spread of the disease. The long-term effects of the lockdown are widespread and largely unknown. Previous studies show that the most vulnerable citizens, a group which often consists of migrants are likely to be hit first and hardest by the lockdown. Other studies showed that this impacts fertility intentions. This research asks the question of whether fertility intentions are impacted by being a migrant or not during Covid-19 in Norway. To check if the Covid-19 lockdown had an impact on fertility, the Gender & Generation Survey from 2010 and 2020 are used for comparability. Using a logistic regression model, no statistical significance was found that having an intention to have a child was impacted by migration status in both waves.
