?:abstract
  • This chapter is about the implications of fertility trends in Western countries in the 1980s for trends in family sentiment and social integration. The evidence used is taken from the European Values Surveys of 1981 and 1990. The intellectual foundation of the study is Emile Durkheim's work on social integration. Durkheim is famous for his use of the suicide rate as an indicator of social integration but it is less widely known that he used the birth rate as a measure of the same phenomenon. In fact a paper (Durkheim, 1888) that foreshadowed Suicide (1897) was entitled ' Suicide and fertility: a study of moral statistics'. Believing that domestic solidarity was essential to social solidarity in general, he argued in that paper that the greater the unity of the family, as evident in a ' healthy' birth rate and a low rate of marital dissolution, the more it served as a protection against suicide. A decline in the birth rate implied a decline in family sentiment. (xsd:string)
