"Seit dem starken Fertilitätsrückgang Ende der 1960er Jahre zählt Deutschland zu den Ländern mit der niedrigsten Geburtenziffer in Europa. Die niedrigen Geburtenraten stehen scheinbar im Widerspruch zu dem hohen Stellenwert, den die Familie bei jungen Menschen immer noch genießt und auch zu der gewünschten Kinderzahl, wie sie in verschiedenen Studien ermittelt wurde. Mittels Daten einer Längsschnittstudie vergleicht dieser Beitrag anhand einer Eheschließungskohorte von 1988/89 aus den alten Bundesländern den ursprünglichen Kinderwunsch zu Ehebeginn und die erreichte Kinderzahl nach 15 Jahren Ehe."

"Following the sharp decline in fertility rates at the end of the 1960s, Germany has been among those European countries with a very low birth rate. There seems to be a discrepancy between these figures and the high significance the family still enjoys among young people. As several studies point out, another discrepancy exists with regard to the number of children desired and the actual birth rate. Using data from a longitudinal survey by employing a 1988/89 marriage cohort from the old Länder, this contribution compares the initial number of children desired at the outset of the marriage and the real number of children after 15 years in wedlock."
