[Fertility behavior of foreign women].
"The total fertility rate of Turkish and Moroccan women in the Netherlands is developing in the direction of the level of the Dutch women. The total fertility rate of women born in Surinam and at the Dutch Antilles and Aruba has already been close to the level of the Dutch women since the end of the eighties. Even though the total fertility rate of foreign women has been moving in the direction of the Dutch level, differences in fertility behaviour still exist. Most significant is the difference of the age of the mother at the birth of her children. On average Dutch women have their first child around age 29, whereas Turkish women become mothers around age 22." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
