Studies on fertility among second-generation migrant women across Europe have mainly treated the second generation as a rather homogenous group, not linking and distinguishing fertility patterns by type of partner. This study investigates how and to what extent the origin and generation of the partner (endogamous or exogamous as well as diversity in endogamy) of Turkish and Moroccan second-generation women in Belgium is related to first-birth rates. We distinguish three types of partnerships: those in an endogamous union with a first-generation partner, those in an endogamous union with a second-generation partner, and those in an exogenous union where the partner is of native Belgian origin. We use linked Census-Register data for the period 2001-2006. Applying event history models, our findings reveal clear differences between the endogamous and exogamous unions with respect to the timing of first births. Second-generation women of both origin groups have the lowest parenthood rates when the partner is of native Belgian origin. However, no variation is found within endogamous unions. For endogamous unions with a first-generation partner, the parenthood rates are approximately the same (and not higher, as was expected) compared to when the partner is also of second generation.
欧洲第二代移民女性生育情况的研究主要将第二代视为一个相当同质化的群体，没有根据伴侣类型来关联和区分生育模式。本研究调查了比利时土耳其和摩洛哥第二代女性伴侣的出身和代际（族内通婚或族外通婚以及族内通婚的多样性）如何以及在多大程度上与初育率相关。我们区分了三种伴侣关系类型：与第一代伴侣的族内通婚关系、与第二代伴侣的族内通婚关系，以及伴侣为比利时本地出身的族外通婚关系。我们使用了2001年至2006年期间的人口普查与登记关联数据。应用事件史模型，我们的研究结果揭示了族内通婚和族外通婚关系在初育时间方面存在明显差异。当伴侣为比利时本地出身时，两个出身群体的第二代女性生育子女的比例最低。然而，在族内通婚关系中未发现差异。与伴侣也是第二代的情况相比，与第一代伴侣的族内通婚关系中的生育子女比例大致相同（并未如预期那样更高）。
