Fertility Response to Natural Disasters : The Case of Three High Mortality Earthquakes
The event of a natural disaster, and being directly affected by it, brings a large shock to life-cycle outcomes. In addition to the replacement effects of higher fertility following a disaster that caused high mortality, a positive fertility respon...

| description |
The event of a natural disaster, and
being directly affected by it, brings a large shock to
life-cycle outcomes. In addition to the replacement effects
of higher fertility following a disaster that caused high
mortality, a positive fertility response may be induced as
children can be used to supplement household income. This
paper analyzes three high mortality earthquakes: Gujarat,
India, in 2001; North-West Frontier, Pakistan, in 2005; and
Izmit, Turkey, in 1999. There is evidence of a positive
fertility response to exposure to these large-scale natural
disasters in addition to the response to child mortality.
The results in this study are consistent with those of other
studies that also find a positive fertility response
following exposure to a disaster. |
