个人简介
Rindfuss has had a longstanding interest in social factors affecting fertility. He has argued that institutional factors, primarily operating at the country level, are crucial. While he has used this perspective to study fertility change and variation in developed and developing countries, his more recent work has focused on explaining variation in low fertility among high and middle income countries. For example, in a highly cited paper he shows that the association of female labor force participation and fertility at the country level had shifted from negative to positive. An interpretation of this finding is that countries with high levels of female labor force participation had developed institutional arrangements that reduce the completion between work and family demands. Evidence in support of this explanation comes from work with Guilkey, Morgan and others that uses Norwegian data. This work showed that making high-quality, affordable, and acceptable child care available leads to a younger age at first birth and to higher overall fertility. Child care is an example of an institutional arrangement that reduces work/family conflict. Rindfuss is currently working on a project funded by the Korea Institute for Health and Social Affairs (KIHASA) which contracted with experts in 18 low fertility countries in North America, Europe, Asia and Oceania to write review papers on the fertility situation in their country, and the institutional factors likely affecting fertility there. Two workshops were held at the East-West Center (December 2013 and August 2014) that will result in two book volumes, with each paper having gone through a rigorous peer review. The first volume has been sent to Springer; the second will be sent to Springer summer 2015.
