B Ram, M V George

    International Migration (Geneva, Switzerland)
    |December 1, 1990
    PubMed
    Summary

    Immigrant fertility in Canada initially decreases upon arrival but increases later. Over time, immigrant fertility rates may align with or fall below those of the native-born population.

    Area of Science:

    • Demography
    • Sociology
    • Immigration Studies

    Background:

    • Understanding immigrant fertility patterns is crucial for population dynamics and social integration research.
    • Previous studies suggest fertility changes occur post-migration, but the long-term trends require further examination.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the fertility trends of immigrants in Canada across different arrival cohorts.
    • To compare immigrant fertility rates with those of the native-born population over time.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized cumulative and current fertility measures.
    • Analyzed data from Canadian censuses conducted in 1961, 1971, 1981, and 1986.
    • Examined fertility patterns based on length of residence in Canada.

    Main Results:

    • Immigrants exhibited lower fertility rates during their initial period of immigration.
    • Fertility rates increased after immigrants had resided in Canada for some time.
    • Prolonged residence led to fertility convergence with or even a decline below native-born rates.

    Conclusions:

    • Immigrant fertility is dynamic, undergoing significant shifts post-migration.
    • The duration of stay in the host country is a key factor influencing immigrant fertility convergence.
    • Findings have implications for Canadian population projections and integration policies.
