1/2 per se, employment uncertainty experienced in one’s social location and country context is not substantially associated with the probability of having a child

we make use of Mannheim's conceptual tool of "social location" to explore if meso-level effects (i.e. unemployment level in the individual's social location) are to be found in the relation between labour market uncertainty and childbearing
