This article analyzes male fertility, with a particular focus on multipartner fertility, for cohorts born 1955 to 1984 in Norway. We find that socioeconomically disadvantaged men have the lowest chance of becoming fathers and the lowest likelihood of fathering multiple children in stable unions. Multipartner fertility, on the other hand, is positively associated with both disadvantage and advantage: higher-order birth risks with a new partner are more prevalent among men with low as well as high socioeconomic status. An intervening factor among disadvantaged men may be a higher union dissolution risk, and an elevated risk among advantaged men may be associated with their higher preferences for children and other features that make these men more attractive to women as partners and fathers of future children.
本文分析了男性生育能力，特别关注了挪威 1955 年至 1984 年出生的队列中的多伴侣生育情况。我们发现，社会经济地位较低的男性成为父亲的机会最低，在稳定的婚姻中生育多个孩子的可能性也最低。另一方面，多伴侣生育与劣势和优势都呈正相关：与新伴侣生育更高阶次孩子的风险在社会经济地位低和高的男性中更为普遍。劣势男性的一个中间因素可能是更高的婚姻解体风险，而优势男性的风险升高可能与他们对孩子的更高偏好以及使这些男性更具吸引力的其他特征有关，这些特征使他们成为更有吸引力的伴侣和未来孩子的父亲。
