Children require a large amount of time, effort, and resources to raise. Physical help, financial contributions, medical care, and other types of assistance from kin and social network members allow couples to space births closer together while maintaining or increasing child survival. We examine the impact of kin availability on couples' reproductive success in the early twentieth-century United States with a panel data set of over 3.1 million couples linked between the 1900 and 1910 U.S. censuses. Our results indicate that kin proximity outside the household was positively associated with fertility, child survival, and net reproduction, and suggest that declining kin availability was an important contributing factor to the fertility transition in the United States. We also find important differences between maternal and paternal kin inside the household-including higher fertility among women residing with their mother-in-law than among those residing with their mother-that support hypotheses related to the contrasting motivations and concerns of parents and parents-in-law.
养育孩子需要大量的时间、精力和资源。亲属和社交网络成员提供的物质帮助、经济贡献、医疗保健和其他类型的帮助，使夫妻能够更紧密地生育孩子，同时保持或提高儿童的存活率。我们利用一个超过 310 万对夫妻的面板数据集，这些夫妻在 1900 年和 1910 年美国人口普查之间相互关联，在美国 20 世纪早期研究了亲属可用性对夫妻生殖成功的影响。我们的研究结果表明，家庭以外的亲属关系与生育能力、儿童存活率和净生殖率呈正相关，这表明亲属可用性的下降是美国生育率转变的一个重要因素。我们还发现了家庭内母子和父子亲属之间的重要差异，包括与母亲同住的女性比与母亲同住的女性生育率更高，这支持了与父母和公婆动机和关注点不同的假设。
