Ongoing research project(s)

ULTRALOW Project
Present and future of ultralow fertility societies around the globe: A comparative study of Spain, South Korea and Uruguay

A new project of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) with other participating entities: Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM), Universität Wien, Universidad de la República Uruguay, KDI School of Public Policy and Management, Yonsei University, INRS-University Québec.

It has received funding from the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation (Grant PID2022-141785OB-I00 funded by MCIN/AEI /10.13039/501100011033/ and by ‘ERDF A way of making Europe’).

This project aims at examining childbearing behaviour, reproductive intentions and perceived constraints using a birth-order-specific approach, as well as contrasting women and men's perspectives in Spain, South Korea and Uruguay, three of the world's lowest fertility countries. The comparison of these so different but so alike countries in terms of lowest-low fertility is both novel and necessary to improve understanding of how cultural, economic and institutional contexts influence childbearing decisions. Some of the hypotheses to be investigated are clearly innovative, since the ultra-low fertility in countries as diverse as Spain, South Korea and Uruguay demands that many of the traditional assumptions and postulates used in demographic theories be reassessed. The ultimate aim of the project is to determine whether, despite different degrees, paces and timing, the Second Demographic Transition paradigm is generalizable beyond the developed world to explain changes in gender relations and in the family, reproductive, educational and employment trajectories of individuals.

The originality of this scientific proposal lies in how fertility and family-related issues will be addressed: (a) using an integrated approach that brings together life course, gender and social stratification focuses; (b) analysing the intersection between individuals’ reproductive biographies with their conjugal, educational and employment biographies; (c) including both women and men in the analysis; and (d) applying event history analysis techniques as statistical tools.
