Abstract

Abstract:Le présent article, qui s'appuie sur des données expérimentales, analyse la relation entre la sécurité économique des ménages à faible revenu et leurs décisions en matière de fécondité. Entre 1974 et 1977, un essai contrôlé aléatoire a été mené au Manitoba, au Canada, dans lequel les groupes étudiés ont reçu différents niveaux de revenu annuel garanti. Toutes les personnes participantes au programme étaient issues de ménages à faible revenu. Il se dégage de ce programme des effets positifs sur la probabilité de naissance d'un enfant, lesquels se situent entre 7 et 10 points de pourcentage.Abstract:Using experimental data, we analyze the relationship between low-income households' economic security and their fertility decisions. Between 1974 and 1977, a randomized controlled trial was conducted in Manitoba, Canada, in which the treatment groups received differing levels of guaranteed annual income. All of the program participants were low-income households. We find positive effects of the program on the probability of childbirth that range between 7 and 10 percentage points.

经济安全和生育率:来自Mincome实验的证据

摘要:本文利用实验数据，分析了低收入家庭的经济安全与他们的生育决策之间的关系。1974年至1977年，在加拿大马尼托巴省进行了一项随机对照试验，研究小组获得了不同水平的保证年收入。所有参与该项目的人都来自低收入家庭。该方案对生育概率的积极影响在7至10个百分点之间。摘要:利用实验数据，分析低收入家庭经济保障与生育决策之间的关系。1974年至1977年期间，在加拿大马尼托巴省进行了一项随机对照试验，治疗群体获得不同水平的保证年收入。所有项目参与者都是低收入家庭。我们发现该方案对生育可能性的积极影响在7至10个百分点之间。
