Abstract

This dissertation focuses on the fertility and family behaviour of women who have migrated between east and west Germany in the decades following German unification. The findings show that east-west migrants display an intermediate form of family behaviour compared to non-mobile eastern and western Germans. For the first birth they adapt to western German fertility, while eastern German socialisation is more important for the second birth. Moreover, a high share of east-west migrants return to eastern Germany. This return migration is related to elevated first birth risks.
