New survey module captures people’s first reproductive experiences (timing, outcomes, events) to quantify reproductive difficulties and successes, calculate Time to Pregnancy in the general population, and link this experience to broader life course factors. @fertdem.bsky.social

📢New paper alert!

'First reproductive experience: A survey module' published @demresjournal.bsky.social with @fertdem.bsky.social & colleagues.

We recommend national surveys to collect more data on 1st repro experience (pregnancy or trying for pregnancy) to better understand reproductive dynamics

Time to birth for spontaneous and ART births among infertile groups - PubMed While assisted reproductive technologies enable individuals facing infertility issues to achieve a live birth, they require more time to succeed. However, since the 2000s, time to ART births has decreased, with the shortest observed among those initiating conception attempts in their late thirties. …

🎉 New research out with @fertdem.bsky.social and @vegardskirbekk.bsky.social !

💡 Time to ART birth decreased since the 2000s, and is shorter for those in their late 30s — likely reflecting improved treatment efficiency and faster access to care.

CHAPTER 6 SUBJECTIVE EVALUATIONS OF PERSONAL AND PUBLIC WELL-BEING AND EXPECTED FUTURE CHILDBEARING Karen Benjamin Guzzo and Sarah R. Hayford ABSTRACT Since the Great Recession, birth rates have fallen steadily in the United States and other high-income countries, even as macroeconomic conditions improved and have since remained largely positive. To understand this surprising juxta- position, scholars are increasingly turning to subjective measures of current and future conditions, hypothesizing that worries about potential negative futures may lead to lower birth rates even when economic conditions are good. Building on this literature, we use survey data from the American Trends Panel (ATP; n = 3,696) to assess how respondents’ satisfaction with their own lives, their understanding of challenges facing young people, their beliefs about problems in their community, and their predictions of future COVID-19 impacts are associated with their expectations for having children. Results show that people who are more dissatisfied with their own lives are less likely to expect a child, controlling for other perceptions as well as objective sociodemographic char- acteristics. Further analyses reveal that this association is largely restricted to childless women.

New paper alert on - you guessed it - childbearing decision-making!

@srhayford.bsky.social & I evaluate if people's perceptions of their personal lives & how things are going more broadly are associated with whether they thought it was likely they would have a(nother) child. 1/

Delayed transitions to adulthood and assisted reproduction: A study of educational differences in Spain Transitions to adulthood are increasingly delayed in low-fertility countries, particularly among highly educated women, with significant implications …

🚨 New publication out!

Together with M.C. Compans and Eva Beaujouan @fertdem.bsky.social, we explore how late transitions to adulthood relate to the use and outcomes of assisted reproduction.

Bien-sûr :)

Oui c’est intéressant. D’après Prioux j’ai l’impression qu’il y avait une bonne quantité de mariages tardifs (et donc de 1ere naissances tardives) au 19eme siècle. T’en penses quoi ?

C’est-à-dire ?

We hope to receive many submissions to this special issue of the Vienna Yearbook of Population Research on delayed reproduction!

Belonging to the neighbourhood, residential mobility, and the transition to parenthood The sense of belonging to the current neighbourhood may play a role in the transition to parenthood by indicating a feeling of being ‘at home’ and having access to social resources. However, previo...

In a new paper, @fertdem.bsky.social , @ann-berrington.bsky.social and I explore the relationship between the sense of belonging to the neighbourhood and the birth of the first child. @bspsuk.bsky.social

Demography paper: we explore the link between mental or physical health and fertility desires across the life course. Mental health seems to trigger changes in reproductive goals at young ages (men), physical health becomes more important at older reproductive ages.

A paper I've been working on for quite literally 10 years just came out

It's a shitty time, for sure, but this paper is still cool and good, and I still want to you tell you all about it

So gather 'round, folks, and hear the story of the 10 year paper!

Word Crunching I  wrote  a poem  on a page  but then each line grew  to the word sum of the previous two  until I began to worry about all these words coming with such frequency  because as you can see, it can be easy to run out of space when a poem gets all Fibonacci sequency  Brian Bilston

Today’s poem celebrates Fibonacci Day. It’s called ‘Word Crunching’.

Has been a fascinating 2 days discussing delayed fertility.
I had the opportunity to present work on biological, genetic & medical factors related to postponement.
