The patterns of family formation and fertility behavior of Turkish and Moroccan women in Belgium are changing rapidly. The census data (1991) indicate a fertility decline. The reasons are changes in the nuptiality patterns, contraceptive behavior, and migratory flows. The changes are not identical in both communities. Young cohorts postpone their marriage, but this is most prominent among Moroccan women. On the other hand, young Turkish women have a clear preference for smaller families. The changes also differentiate according to migrant "generation" and level of education. The changes are not restricted to Belgium but are also observed in the countries of origin.
在比利时的土耳其和摩洛哥女性的家庭组建模式及生育行为正在迅速变化。1991年的人口普查数据显示生育率在下降。原因包括结婚模式、避孕行为和移民流动的变化。两个群体的变化并不相同。年轻群体推迟结婚，但这在摩洛哥女性中最为显著。另一方面，年轻的土耳其女性明显倾向于组建规模更小的家庭。这些变化也因移民“代际”和教育水平而有所不同。这些变化不仅在比利时存在，在其原籍国也能观察到。
