摘要：In thispaper we examine howpersona! values and attitudes are related to childbearing intentions among 18-40-year-old Finnish men and women. Wefocus on religious and individualistic values and on attitudes towardschildrenand thefamily, as well as attitudes towards work and gender roles. The impact of value and attitude orientations and situationalfactors onfertility decision-making are investigated separately at parities 0, 1 and 2 using logistic regression. Our study uses a subsample of 1,237 men andwomen drawnfrom thePPA2survey ofthe attitudes ofFinns towardsfamily and children,family policy measures, values in life as well as theirfertility intentions. Wefind that information on persona! values and attitudes does increase our knowledge on determinants of childbearing intentions and decision-making, although not ali our initial hypotheses concerning the association, or direction of the association, between certain attitudes and fertility intentions were confirmed in the data. Religious values, as well as work-relatedattitudes and individualistic values appeared to have little bearing on childbearing intentions, while various attitudes towards children were related to intentions to have (more) children. In addition, a conservative familistic attitude was related to intentions as well as gender role attitudes. The impact of values and attitudes varied by parity, providing support to the nation that childbearing decisions are made sequentially".
