Fertility Patterns Among Soviet Immigrants To Israel: the Role of Cultural Variables

Shalvia Ben-Barak

Tel-Aviv University

The conclusion of research on the European fertility decline that cultural vari ables play a significant role is supported by questionnaire data from a study of 1979-1980 Soviet immigrants to Israel. The study was carried out using a causal model with path analysis and latent variables, and revealed that the specific number of children in a Soviet family was determined by family attitudes and values about the role and status of the woman in the family, by the number of children in the parental home, and by the amount of assistance the parents gave to the young couple. The causal model enabled the measurement of the relative direct and indirect effects of cultural variables.
