This study uses a gender and class perspective to study rates of progression to the second
birth in Germany. Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel for the period 1990-
2020, we distinguish individuals by whether they are in (a) higher managerial/professional, (b)
lower managerial/ professional, (c) skilled manual/higher routine nonmanual, or (d) the
nonskilled manual/lower routine nonmanual classes. Our analysis reveals strongly elevated
second birth rates among men and women in the managerial classes. We also show that
upward mobility after the first birth is associated with higher second birth rates, particularly
among men.
