Zusammenfassung

Nach Jahrzehnten sehr niedriger Geburtenraten sind diese in Deutschland seit einigen Jahren wieder auf Werte angestiegen, die im europäischen Mittelfeld liegen. Dieser Beitrag skizziert anhand aktueller Daten die Entwicklung der Kohorten- und Periodenfertilität und gibt einen Überblick zu zentralen Theorien zur Geburtenentwicklung. Ein besonderes Augenmerk liegt auf dem Aufschub der Geburten im Lebensverlauf von Frauen und Männern, der Geburtenentwicklung in der migrantischen Bevölkerung und einer Einordnung des jüngsten Geburtenanstiegs.
