Abstract

Research has examined the effect of family changes on housing transitions and childbearing patterns within various housing types. Although most research has investigated how an event in one domain of family life depends on the current state in another domain, the interplay between them has been little studied. This study examines the interrelationships between childbearing decisions and housing transitions. We use rich longitudinal register data from Finland and apply multilevel event history analysis to allow for multiple births and housing changes over the life course. We investigate the timing of fertility decisions and housing choices with respect to each other. We model childbearing and housing transitions jointly to control for time-invariant unobserved characteristics of women, which may simultaneously influence their fertility behavior and housing choices, and we show how joint modeling leads to a deeper understanding of the interplay between the two domains of family life.

The data contain information only on the timing of births and housing changes rather than when decisions to have a(nother) child or move home were taken. (See details of the specification of the outcome variables in the Data and Methods sections.) Nevertheless, for readability and in common with much other research using event history data, we use “decision” and “choice” interchangeably with “behavior” and “change” in this and the next section.

We excluded foreign-born women for two reasons. First, immigrants in Finland are a relatively small but heterogeneous group (refugees, married migrants, and “ethnic return migrants”). Second, immigrants are known to exhibit specific fertility patterns after migration (e.g., elevated fertility for married migrants; see Andersson 2004). Although the fertility patterns of immigrants provide valuable information about the relationship between international migration and fertility, the inclusion of foreign-born women in the study would have further complicated the analysis of the relationship between fertility and housing; additional control of duration and selectivity effects would have been necessary.
