Immigrant fertility:  an examination of social characteristics and assimilation.
"This study compares the fertility patterns of foreign-born and native-born women in Canada and examines whether [the] same set of social characteristics accounts for differential fertility among both the groups.  The study also assesses the importance of social characteristics and assimilation on immigrant fertility behavior.  Two generations of currently married/cohabiting women with spouse present are analyzed using multiple regressions.  The results reveal similar effects on fertility of social characteristics for foreign-born and native-born, while in the case of younger generations the effects are stronger."
