| dc.description.abstract | Conceptually migration can affect fertility through adaptation, selection, disruption or socialization. This effect can be expressed in children ever born, timing of birth, contraceptive use or conception. The study attempts to examine the impact of migration on fertility (children ever born and timing of birth) with regard to adaptation and disruption hypothesis in Addis Ababa Ethiopia using data from the 2016 Ethiopian Demographic and Health Survey. To discern the effect of migration on cumulative fertility and timing of birth Poisson regression and discrete time event models were fitted. Poisson regression model is explored to study the impact of migration on mean CEB with respect to adaptation model while; discrete time event model is explored to study the effect of migration on delaying timing of first and second birth in respect of disruption model. Migrants were compared with non-migrants living in Addis Ababa. In addition, characteristics of migrants by duration at place of destination are also examined and compared with those non migrants. The study reveals non-significant relationship between migration and lifetime fertility of women which is against to the concept of adaptation hypothesis. The results also indicate there is difference in hazard of first and second birth between migrants and non-migrants. However, this evidence strengthens migration effect in delaying timing of first and second birth for migrant which support disruption hypothesis. The study finds that migrant adaptation in fertility was not evident but gives speculative evidence for fertility disruption of migrants for first and second birth in the context of Addis Ababa. Future researches further investigate determinants of migrant fertility in Addis Ababa and also examine the relationship with regard to other fertility differentials (selection and socialization). | en_US |
