description | The advancement of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) has gained much attention in relation to childbearing postponement. Our study’s purpose was to empirically examine how perceptions of childbearing deadline age vary in association with availability and prevalence of ART across different countries. The present study used data from the 2006 European Social Survey and the 2006 European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology to examine selected EU countries. A total sample of 17,487 respondents was examined. Multilevel regression modeling was used. Results showed that first, younger generations were more generous with maternal childbearing ages but stricter with paternal deadline ages. Second, respondents residing in countries with higher percentage of reproductive clinics per population were more generous with maternal ages, however no significant association was observed with regard to paternal childbearing ages. Third, on the contrary, respondents residing in countries with higher utilization of ART treatments were stricter with maternal ages, which may be because they are more likely to be aware of the physiological and financial difficulties associated with ART treatments. The present study is meaningful in that it is the first study to empirically examine social perceptions of childbearing ages in relation with ART. |
