Abstract

ABSTRACT Son preference is known to influence fertility decisions, but very little is known about the prevalence of son preference in Turkey and its consequences for fertility behaviours. We use data from five waves of the Demographic and Health Survey and the Survey on Income and Living Conditions to show that son preference results in differential stopping behaviours and shorter birth spacing. Despite many public reforms promoting gender equality in Turkey, women and children are put at risk in the quest for a son. This result holds in all regions, in both urban and rural areas, and across the socio-economic spectrum.
为了在土耳其生个儿子而加速
众所周知,重男轻女会影响生育决策,但对土耳其重男轻女的普遍现象及其对生育行为的影响知之甚少。我们利用人口与健康调查和收入与生活条件调查的五波数据表明,重男轻女导致了不同的停止行为和更短的生育间隔。尽管土耳其进行了许多促进性别平等的公共改革,但妇女和儿童在寻求儿子的过程中仍处于危险之中。这一结果适用于所有区域,包括城市和农村地区,以及整个社会经济范围。
