Overview

Path analysis reveals temporary work affects first births through wages and job insecurity in Australia and Germany.

Key Points

  • Temporary work reduces the likelihood of first births, indicating significant impacts on fertility trends.
  • Findings show lower wages account for notable differences in fertility rates for temporary workers in both countries.
  • Event-history and path models were applied to analyze 19 years of data from Australian and German panel surveys.
  • These results highlight the importance of financial stability and job insecurity in influencing first-birth timing.
