移民子女的生育率日益影响西欧人口的种族多样性。然而，关于移民及其后代生育模式的数据很少。本文提供了新的生育率估计移民和移民的子女在英国的种族群体，可能会提供更好的知情生育率假设为未来的人口预测模型。分析了移民克里思效应对移民总生育率的影响。在这些结果中，代际生育过渡强烈有助于种族群体之间的生育趋同和生育同化或代际适应英国主流生育行为。种族生育率趋同，特别是来自高生育率国家的人口，部分反映了输出国生育率的下降，部分反映了代际适应英国主流。移民女儿的高等教育入学率可能是其生育率相对较低的部分原因。
The fertility of immigrants' children increasingly shapes the ethnic diversity of the population in Western Europe. However, few data are available on the fertility patterns of immigrants and their offspring. This article provides new fertility estimates of immigrants and immigrants' children by ethnic group in the United Kingdom that may provide better-informed fertility assumptions for future population projection models. The impact of migration-specific tempo effects on the period TFR of immigrants is analyzed. Among the results, intergenerational fertility transitions strongly contribute both to fertility convergence between ethnic groups and to fertility assimilation or intergenerational adaptation to the UK mainstream childbearing behavior. Ethnic fertility convergence, particularly marked for populations originating from high-fertility countries, reflects in part decreasing fertility in sending countries and in part intergenerational adaptation to the UK mainstream. Higher educational enrollment of the daughters of immigrants may partly explain their relatively lower fertility.
