Spreading Fertile Ideas - Social Network Influences on Having Children
Dr. G. (Gert) Stulp (m), RUG - Sociologie
De sterke daling van het geboortecijfer in de 20e eeuw is vermoedelijk mede te verklaren door de invloed van sociale interacties. 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.
