| Description: |
This paper examines how the separation and migration experiences of household members influence the fertility of women who reside in sending contexts. Using longitudinal data from the Chitwan Valley Family Study (CVFS), I explore how individual, spousal, and other household members’ migration behavior is related to a key fertility transition, going on to have a third birth, for non-migrant women. Results broadly show having a household member (e.g. sibling or parent) migrate abroad reduces the risk that a woman goes on from having a second child to having a third. However, when broken into two cohorts, the older cohort's odds of parity progression were reduced by not only household migration, but also any migration, regardless of who or to where, and international spousal migration. Conversely, the effect of international, spousal migration increased the odds of the younger cohort progressing to parity 3. ; Master of Arts |
