Casualties of turbulent economic transition: premature mortality and foregone fertility in the post-communist countries

In this thesis, I analyze the contribution of the economic context to the fertility and mortality crises that took place across the former Soviet Union and Central and Eastern Europe during the transition from communism. At the macro-level, findings reflect a relationship between a negative economic...

At the macro-level, findings reflect a relationship between a negative economic context and stopping behavior of childbirth, whereas a positive economic context appears to encourage postponement of having a first child. Macro-economic conditions appear to be related to variations in mortality rates as well, particularly for the demographic group that drove the mortality crisis and the causes of death that have been linked to alcohol consumption. At the micro-level, evidence emerges in Russia that downward social mobility and unemployment were two experiences that particularly influenced early deaths and second birth risks. Both women and men were less likely to have a second child if they had experienced downward mobility after the first child was born. While excessive alcohol consumption and poor health did not predict downward social mobility or unemployment, the reverse relationship did appear in the findings.En esta tesis, analizar la contribución del contexto económico de la fecundidad y la mortalidad de las crisis que tuvo lugar en la antigua Unión Soviética y Europa Central y Oriental durante la transición del comunismo. A nivel macro, los resultados reflejan una relación entre un contexto económico negativo y detener el comportamiento del parto, mientras que un contexto económico positivo parece fomentar el aplazamiento de tener un primer hijo. Condiciones macroeconómicas parecen estar relacionadas con variaciones en las tasas de mortalidad y, en particular para el grupo demográfico que llevó a la crisis de mortalidad y las causas de la muerte que se han vinculado al consumo de alcohol. A nivel micro, la evidencia que surge en Rusia la baja movilidad social y el desempleo son dos experiencias en particular que influyó en las muertes tempranas y el segundo nacimiento riesgos. Tanto hombres como mujeres tenían menos probabilidades de tener un segundo hijo si habían experimentado movilidad descendente después del primer hijo nació. Mientras que el consumo excesivo de alcohol y la mala salud no predicen la baja movilidad social o el desempleo, la relación inversa que aparecen en los resultados.Programa de doctorat en Ciències Polítiques i SocialsUniversitat Pompeu FabraEsping-Andersen, GøstaUniversitat Pompeu Fabra.
