"Diese Untersuchung vergleicht die gesellschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen für die unterschiedlichen Kinderzahlen in westeuropäischen Nationen1 anhand einer Reihe sozioökonomischer Indikatoren2. Es wird deutlich, dass ab einem bestimmten Niveau gesellschaftlicher Entwicklung der historisch zu beo-bachtende negative Zusammenhang zwischen Wohlstand und Fortschritt einerseits und Geburtenraten andererseits nicht mehr gilt. Heute werden in jenen Ländern mehr Kinder geboren, die in Bezug auf die Gleichbehandlung der Geschlechter die modernsten Gesellschaftssysteme aufweisen. Auf Basis dieser Ergebnisse schlagen wir vor, das Problem nachwuchsarmer Länder aus einem neuen Blickwinkel zu diskutieren. Um Menschen in modernen Industriegesellschaften zu höheren Kinderzahlen zu motivieren, ist weniger die Höhe von Kindergeld und sonstigen Transferleistungen entscheidend. Ausschlaggebend scheint vielmehr die Gleichstellung von Frauen und Männern in der Gesellschaft." (Autorenreferat)... view less

"This analysis compares the social conditions for different fertility rates in the nations of western Europe based upon a range of socio-economic indicators. It clearly shows that the traditionally negative clation between wealth and social development on the one hand and fertility on the other no longer existswhen a society has reached a certain level of development. Today, more children are born in the coun-tries with the most advanced social systems in regard to gender equality. Based upon this result, we propose to discuss the problem of low-fertility countries from a different point of view. Neither child benefits nor other sources of financial aid seem to motivate people to have more children in modern industrial societies. Far more crucial is the equality of men and women within the society." (author's abstract)... view less
