“We explore how transitions from cohabitation to marriage affected working time and income in Europe in the 1990s, as cohabitation was emerging. We find a widening gender gap since women worked less after marrying, even if cohabiting before.”

Does self-selection into migration impact fertility differentials between migrants and stayers? Not necessarily. Polish migrants in the Netherlands have lower fertility even when socio-demographic differentials are controlled for.

Polish women’s fertility in the Netherlands surges post-migration, especially for family migrants, but drops after four years. Tempo distortions mask varied childbearing patterns, most evident for those moving in peak reproductive years.
