Racial Pairings and Fertility: Do Interracial Couples Have Fewer Children?
Racial Pairings and Fertility: Do Interracial Couples Have Fewer Children?
These data also indicate substantial variation in fertility across different racial-gender pairings (Table 2, off-diagonal cells). Of these racial pairings, fertility was lowest among White husband/Asian American wife couples (12.7%), a figure lower than among White wife/Asian American husband couples (14.9%). Both pairings have lower fertility than endogamous Asian American couples (16.8%). In each case, non-White husband/White wife couples had a higher percentage of past-year fertility compared to non-White wife/White husband couples. In other words, White/non-White couples had a higher percentage of past-year fertility if the non-White spouse was male rather than female. This descriptive finding is consistent with our hypotheses.
Patterns of fertility by racial pairing are considerably more idiosyncratic, but support our hypotheses that the gender and race of non-White partners matter. On the one hand, non-White women who formed unions with White men, for example, generally had lower odds of past-year fertility than did endogamous White couples. Among non-White women with White partners (married or cohabiting), the odds of past-year fertility were 13% lower for Blacks, 25% lower for Asian Americans, and 9% lower for Hispanics than for their White-White counterparts.
On the other hand, among non-White men with White partners, the odds of past-year fertility were 6% higher for Blacks, 11% lower for Asian Americans, and 10% higher for Hispanics. The odds of past-year fertility among American Indian-White couples, regardless of race/gender mix of partners, were not statistically different from endogamous White couples.
