| Titel: | | Marital Fertility and Religion : Recent Changes in Spain  |
| Autoren: | | Adsera, Alicia |

| Zusammenfassung: | | Since the onset of democracy in 1975, both total fertility and Mass attendance rates in Spain
have dropped dramatically. I use the 1985 and 1999 Spanish Fertility Surveys to study
whether the significance of religion in fertility behavior – both in family size and in the spacing
of births – has changed. While in the 1985 SFS family size was similar among practicing and
non-practicing Catholics, practicing Catholics portray significantly higher fertility during recent
years. In the context of lower church participation, religiosity has acquired a more relevant
meaning for demographic behavior. Among the youngest generation, non-practicing
Catholics behave as those without affiliation. The small group of Protestants and Muslims
has the highest fertility and interfaith unions are less fertile. |
