The aim of Diversity in Family Formation is to examine changes in
the start of the family formation process. Rather than giving a
rough overview of demographic changes in many countries, a
comparison of differences in changes in family formation and
fertility behaviour between Belgium and The Netherlands is
interesting for various reasons. First, even though the economic
and cultural differences between these countries are relatively
small there is one important difference: Belgium is predominantly
Catholic, whereas The Netherlands has about equal proportions of
Catholics and Protestants. Second, if the Second Demographic
Transition implies that there is one common pattern of change in
different European countries and that differences across countries
are due to the fact that countries are in a different stage of the
transition process, and if it is assumed that the transition
process started earlier in Protestant countries than in Catholic
countries, one would expect The Netherlands to be in a further
stage of the transition process than Belgium. Thus an in-depth
comparison of changes in family formation and fertility behaviour
between both countries may give us more insight in the question of
whether there is one common transition process. The comparison of
fertility and family survey-data in both countries brings us to the
core question of whether there is one common explanation for
differences between countries in various types of fertility and
family behaviour under consideration, namely fertility regulation,
the choice of living arrangement after leaving the parental home,
and the labour force participation of mothers.
