The relationship between religiosity and fertility has attracted considerable attention in demographic and sociological research over the last decades. Various dimensions of religiosity, including attendance, commitment, and the centrality of religion in people’s lives, have been shown to be associated with multiple dimensions of family life such as marriage, divorce, and family size. The book comprises an important contribution to this field, presenting a multidimensional analysis on the role of religion and religiosity in shaping fertility patterns. It adopts a comparative approach between gender, generations, and countries (i.e., France, Hungary, Norway, and Germany) and combines macro and micro perspectives. The volume is based on Sandra Hubert’s dissertation defended at Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany, in 2014.

Abstract
The relationship between religiosity and fertility has attracted considerable attention in demographic and sociological research over the last decades. Various dimensions of religiosity, including attendance, commitment, and the centrality of religion in people’s lives, have been shown to be associated with multiple dimensions of family life such as marriage, divorce, and family size. The book comprises an important contribution to this field, presenting a multidimensional analysis on the role of religion and religiosity in shaping fertility patterns. It adopts a comparative approach between gender, generations, and countries (i.e., France, Hungary, Norway, and Germany) and combines macro and micro perspectives. The volume is based on Sandra Hubert’s dissertation defended at Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany, in 2014.
