- Title
Observing the Number of Children with EU-SILC: A Quantification of Biases.
- Authors
GREULICH, Angela; DASRÉ, Aurélien
- Abstract
In Population 69(3), 2014, Gustavo De Santis, Sven Drefahl, and Daniele Vignoli presented the EU Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) as an invaluable source of data to analyse fertility by sociodemographic characteristics. These surveys, though, have biases that require an adjustment in observed fertility. In this article, Angela Greulich and Aurélien Dasré examine these very biases by comparing the number of children born by mother's age with unbiased estimates from the Human Fertility Database. They explore the limits of these surveys for each birth order and measure, in the case of France, the extent of this bias according to the mother's sociodemographic characteristics.
