Duration of Residence in the United States and the Fertility of U.S. Immigrants.

Ford, Kathleen

International Migration Review, v24 n1 p34-68 Spr 1990

Examines census data on the fertility of U.S. immigrants to study trends in fertility after migration. Results show that immigrant fertility may rise after arrival in the new country, perhaps because immigrants are making up for births or marriages postponed because of the move, but that, with assimilation, fertility declines.
