Example text

The male surplus results from the immigrant populations of “guest workers” and asylum seekers. The numbers of immigrant women have increased only since the 1970s (Proebsting 1984; Mu¨nz and Ulrich 2000). The sex ratio varies over time and by sub-group (Gro¨ner 1976; CoE 1984; Meis 1993). Moreover, the age structure of the immigrant population is different from that of the German population. Since mainly young adults move to Germany and since the number of children has been higher among immigrants, the share of foreigners is high primarily in the age groups from 16 to 25 years (13 to 17%) (Mu¨nz and Ulrich 2000).

This suggests a connection between migration and family formation, as a child born in a destination country is believed to strengthen the legal status of the parents there. Similarly, Andersson’s (2004) study on immigrant fertility in Sweden reveals elevated levels of childbearing during the first couple of years after immigration to Sweden. One may expect childbearing to start soon after migration and marriage, particularly among marriage migrants, who constitute a special type of family reunion.

3 Adaptation While the hypotheses of disruption and interrelation of events focus on short-term impacts of migration, the adaptation hypothesis offers a medium-term perspective. Given that fertility patterns vary between the regions of origin and destination, a convergence may be achieved within some years of residency (shown by Iutaka et al. 1971 for internal migrants in Brazil; Rindfuss 1976 for Puerto Ricans to the United States; Bach 1981 for internal migrants in Malaysia; Farber and Lee 1984 for rural–urban migrants in Korea; Hervitz 1985 for internal migrants in Brazil; Nauck 1987 for Turks in Germany; Ford 1990 for the United States; Ram and George 1990 for immigrants in Canada; Schoorl 1995 for European countries; Mayer and Riphahn 2000 for labor migrants from Mediterranean countries in Germany).
