Abstract

Recent demographic changes in Western countries have resulted in higher rates of partnership dissolution and serial partnering, and an increase in childbearing across multiple partnerships. This has given rise to more complex family dynamics including multi-partner fertility (MPF), defined as having biological children with two or more partners. Yet estimates of MPF in the UK have not previously been available. This paper describes an 'indirect approach' to estimate the prevalence of MPF in the UK, for men and women, given different assumptions. The paper additionally explores differences in MPF according to own and parental educational attainment. Amongst those born in Britain in 1970, 12-14% of men and 15-18% of women experienced MPF by age 42, depending on the assumptions made. For most of the cohort, MPF occurred with two different coresidential partners. We have established that MPF is a common family formation in the UK, but there are large educational disparities in MPF prevalence.

多伴侣生育的教育梯度：英国的首次估计。

西方国家近期的人口结构变化导致伴侣关系解体率和连续伴侣率上升，以及多伴侣生育率上升。这导致了更复杂的家庭动态，包括多伴侣生育率（MPF），其定义是与两个或两个以上伴侣生育亲生子女。然而，英国此前并没有对 MPF 进行估算。本文介绍了一种 "间接方法"，根据不同的假设来估算英国男性和女性的 MPF 发生率。此外，本文还探讨了强积金在自身和父母教育程度方面的差异。在 1970 年出生于英国的人群中，根据不同的假设，12%-14% 的男性和 15%-18%的女性在 42 岁之前患有强积金。在大多数人群中，强积金都是与两个不同的同居伴侣发生的。我们已经确定，在英国，多囊卵巢是一种常见的家庭组成方式，但在多囊卵巢的发生率方面存在着巨大的教育差异。

期刊介绍： European Journal of Population addresses a broad public of researchers, policy makers and others concerned with population processes and their consequences. Its aim is to improve understanding of population phenomena by giving priority to work that contributes to the development of theory and method, and that spans the boundaries between demography and such disciplines as sociology, anthropology, economics, geography, history, political science, epidemiology and other sciences contributing to public health. The Journal is open to authors from all over the world, and its articles cover European and non-European countries (specifically including developing countries) alike.
