Spreading Fertile Ideas - Social Network Influences on Having Children
Dr. G. (Gert) Stulp (m), RUG - Sociologie

Het voorstel beoogt langlopende dataverzameling van netwerken en kinderkeuzes in twee populaties met sterk verschillende geboortecijfers. Recent ontwikkelde analysemethoden worden gebruikt om mogelijke netwerkinvloeden op kinderkeuze aan te tonen.
