Next to the climbing<br>of the divorce rates, the increasing absolute number of separations among cohabiting couples is<br>the direct consequence of the growing propensity of couples to cohabit rather than get marry. At<br>the same time, it has been found that almost 50% of separated individuals are re-partnered in 5<br>years from the union dissolution. These considerations bring implications for fertility studies. Do<br>re-partnered mothers have a different probability of having a new child with respect to mothers<br>with the same partner? Is it because of different unobserved preferences or do re-partnered<br>women evaluate the costs or benefits related to a new birth in a different way? Finally, to what<br>extent can the re-partnering process recover lost births with separations? To answer these<br>questions, we use data from 31 European countries, over the years 2007-2018. We find that<br>women with new partners are more likely to have one additional child than women who already<br>share children with their current partner. The former feel less the burden of age and already having<br>children. Moreover, their fertility choices are less influenced by the level of family income. If the<br>separation occurs at a relatively young age and the new relationship relatively quickly, then births<br>&#8220;lost&#8221; through separations can be recovered.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/apd2022.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lectures\/3634"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/apd2022.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lectures"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/apd2022.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/lectures"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/apd2022.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3634"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
