Background
• A lot of research on spatial aspects of first demographic transition, e.g. the Princeton European Fertility Project
• Only a few studies on spatial aspects of second demographic transition
![Page 4: Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062518/568144b7550346895db17ff3/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Objectives and data
• To study fertility trends across settlements in the Nordic countries from the mid-1970s to the early 21st century, and to examine the causes of fertility variation across settlements
• The data from the population registers of Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden
• Annual number of births by age of mother across municipalities for the period from 1975 to 2003; female population (annually) by age across municipalities
• Individual childbearing records from Swedish population registers on all Swedish women born in 1945 and later

Explanatory variable
Size of municipality:
1) Capital city (more than 500,000 inhabitants)2) Other cities (100,000-500,000 inhabitants)3) Towns (50,000-100,000 inhabitants)4) Medium-sized towns (10,000-50,000 inhabitants)5) Small towns (5,000-10,000 inhabitants)6) Rural areas (less than 5,000 inhabitants)
Suburban municipalities defined as part of the urban region Criteria: 20% of employed population commute to work in the neighbouring city or town

Conclusions
• A significant fertility variation across settlements in all four Nordic countries – the larger the settlement the lower fertility
• The variation in fertility has decreased over time, but significant differences between settlement types have persisted
• The timing of childbearing also varies across settlements – the larger the settlement the later the peak of fertility
• The patterns are rather similar in all four countries
• Sweden: All parity-specific fertility varies across settlements
• Sweden: Socioeconomic characteristics account only for a small part of fertility variation across settlements
