[en] This paper examines the relationship between international migration and
source country fertility. The impact of international migration on source country fertility
may have a number of causes, including a transfer of destination countries’ fertility norms.
We provide a rigorous test of the diffusion of fertility norms using highly detailed original
data on migration. Our results provide evidence of a significant transfer of destination
countries’ fertility norms from migrants to their country of origin: a 1% decrease (increase)
in the fertility norm to which migrants are exposed reduces (raises) home country fertility
by about 0.3%.
