摘要：The aim of this paper is to analyze the factors that affect the birth of the first child after migration. In particular, we focus on family conditions and socio-demographic characteristics of migrant women at the moment of arriving in Spain. The general hypothesis is that reproductive behavior after migrating is closely related to the situation on arrival. At the same time, we consider that different family situations interact with individual characteristics generating different effects on the probability of having the first child. In the analysis discrete time survival models were estimated using data from National Immigrant Survey 2007. Results show the importance of marital status and number of previous children on fertility after migration, although there is some interference between family background and personal characteristics of the migrant.
