This paper aims at studying the relationship between fertility and migration, considering women moved from the North-East Italian region of Veneto in the 1950s. A quite innovative approach lies on the matching between own children method and event history analysis; this allows to consider current status data, such as those of the 1981 population census, to know demographic events. A piecewise constant exponential model studies the birth of the first child for women aged 30-34 moved towards the North-West Italian regions of Piemonte and Lombardia. Results show that among women from Veneto there is a gradual assimilation to fertility norms and behaviour of the host society.

Abstract
This paper aims at studying the relationship between fertility and migration, considering women moved from the North-East Italian region of Veneto in the 1950s. A quite innovative approach lies on the matching between own children method and event history analysis; this allows to consider current status data, such as those of the 1981 population census, to know demographic events. A piecewise constant exponential model studies the birth of the first child for women aged 30-34 moved towards the North-West Italian regions of Piemonte and Lombardia. Results show that among women from Veneto there is a gradual assimilation to fertility norms and behaviour of the host society.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
