Intergenerational Correlation in Fertility Behaviors and Its Application to an Alternative Population Projection Method : Evidence from Korea

초록/요약

This paper verifies the existence of positive intergenerational correlation (IC) in the number of children and applies the findings to construct an alternative population projection method. For verifying the existence of IC, we construct three types of model: time trend controlled model, binomial logistic regression model, relative fertility model. All results for these 3 models report that there exists a positive IC in the number of children. For suggesting alternative population projection method, Autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) model is adopted to forecast CFR for future birth cohort. As a result, the method assuming IC in the number of children forecasted CFR for 2000 as 1.6768. This value is higher than the value without assuming IC in the number of children and the value that Statistics Korea suggested.
