title: The impact of internal migration on fertility
ispublished: unpub
full_text_status: public
abstract: Over the years, demographers have discovered a relationship between rural-urban migration and the number of children people have. In urban living situations, people have significantly fewer children than they would have had if they lived in a rural area. Not only do these differences exist between the two groups, but research has also shown that people who move from rural to urban change in this sense. This effect has mostly been seen in developing countries. This paper aimed to find if such a relationship also exists in the Netherlands. Using individual data, a significant difference is visible between urbanised areas in the Netherlands and rural areas. Not only does location play a factor in the fertility, sex also does. Females respondents tended to have significantly more children than their male counterparts. In internal migrants, we see the same pattern, where respondents who moved from the less urbanised to more urbanised areas experienced a lower fertility rate than their immobile counterparts
