Abstract

"Fertility in Romania dropped rapidly after the col lapse of the communist rule, placing the country among those with low fertility rates, and started to grow again after the year 2014. The paper approach es the dynamic of fertility in Romania, focusing on the period when fertility grew again. Using data from the semi-panel conducted by World Values Survey Romanian in 2012 and 2018, the paper looks at the changes in fertility in Romania based on mi cro-level data and studying trends in cohort fertility among women of fertile age and the drivers of these changes. The cohort analysis indicates that birth postponement is the main mechanism leading to the growth in fertility in Romania in the past decade. At the same time, the results provide support to the uncertainty explanation, the fear of job losing having negative impact on the number of children born by a woman. Altogether, the results suggest that Roma nia does not yet reach the second gender revolution, that has gender equality in private sphere at its core, fertility decision relying on traditional factors such as economic uncertainty and patriarchal model, with the male partner being the main breadwinner.

罗马尼亚的生育率：第二次性别革命的延迟

“罗马尼亚的生育率在共产主义统治结束后迅速下降，成为生育率较低的国家之一，并在2014年后开始再次增长。本文探讨了罗马尼亚生育率的动态，重点关注生育率再次增长的时期。该论文利用罗马尼亚世界价值观调查在2012年和2018年进行的半小组数据，基于微观数据，研究了罗马尼亚生育率的变化，并研究了育龄妇女群体生育率的趋势和这些变化的驱动因素。队列分析表明，在过去十年中，推迟生育是导致罗马尼亚生育率增长的主要机制。同时，研究结果支持了不确定性的解释，即担心失业会对女性生育的孩子数量产生负面影响。总之，研究结果表明，罗姆尼亚还没有达到第二次性别革命，这场革命以私人领域的性别平等为核心，生育决策依赖于经济不确定性和父权制模式等传统因素，男性伴侣是主要的经济支柱。“

期刊介绍： TRAS represents a collective effort initiated by an international group aimed at boosting the research in the field of public administration in a country where during the communist regime there was no tradition in this sense. TRAS represents a unique source of specialized analysis of the ex-communist space, of the transition processes to democracy, of the reform of public administration, and of comparative analysis of administrative systems. The general topic covered by the articles in the Review is administrative sciences. As a result of an interdisciplinary, modern approach, the articles cover the following specific themes: Public management, public policy, administrative law, public policy analysis, regional development, community development, public finances, urban planning, program evaluation in public administration, ethics, comparative administrative systems, etc. TRAS encourages the authors to submit articles that are based on empirical research. From the standpoint of the topic covered, TRAS is lined up with the trends followed by other international journals in the field of public administration. All articles submitted to the Transylvanian Review of Administrative Sciences have to present a clear connection to the field of administrative sciences and the research (both theoretical and empirical) should be conducted from this perspective. Interdisciplinary topics related to organizational theory, sustainable development and CSR, international relations, etc. can be considered for publication, however the research needs to address relevant issues from the perspective of the public sector. Articles which use highly specialized econometrics models as well as studies addressing macro-economic topics will not be considered for evaluation. The decision on whether a certain topic falls within the interest of TRAS belongs to the editors and it is not connected with the overall quality of the work submitted.
