The 2011 issue of the Vienna Yearbook of Population Research explores reproductive decision-making, focusing on theoretical, methodological, and empirical approaches to fertility preferences, fertility norms and motivations, family policies and actual fertility from individual, couple and aggregate perspectives. The contributions address various aspects of fertility decisions, including individual choices, couple interactions, societal influences, gender norms, and policy impacts. Most contributions stem from the REPRO project (“Reproductive decision making in a macro–micro approach”) on the antecedents and outcomes of fertility intentions. They tackle the complexity that emerges from the interaction between individual (including couple-level) and aggregate-level factors which jointly determine fertility decisions and the related birth outcomes. Many contributions are grounded in the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) by Ajzen and Fishbein, which is also critically assessed in the eight invited contributions in the “Demographic Debate” section.
