This paper investigates gender preferences for offspring within the native French population and among immigrants from North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, Turkey and Vietnam-Cambodia-Laos in France by combining the Family and Housing Survey (2011) and the Trajectories and Origins Survey (2008). In so doing, it is the first paper to examine the persistence (or lack thereof) of gender preferences among immigrants in France. This allows the findings of the paper to serve as a tool for monitoring the immigrant integration process in the country. Using (multilevel) logistic regressions to examine transitions to second and third child births contingent upon gender of existing children and by migration status provides two main results. First, regarding evidence of gender preferences, the results show: mixed gender preferences and weak daughter preference among native French women when transitioning to the third parity; mixed gender preferences among second-generation Turkish immigrant women when transitioning to the third parity; and a daughter preference for second-generation North African, Sub-Saharan African and Vietnamese-Laos-Cambodian immigrant women when transitioning to the third parity. Second, for the immigrant sample, these preferences emerge in the face of declining fertility, across subsequent generations of immigrants, and on average as a deviation from their country of origin gender preferences. This not only points to the malleability of gender preferences for offspring but also lends credence to both the selection and adaptation hypotheses in explaining immigrant integration in France.

法国有后代性别偏好的证据吗?检查来自亚洲和非洲的土著妇女和移民妇女的偏好

本文通过结合家庭和住房调查 (2011) 和轨迹和起源调查 ( 2008)。通过这样做,这是第一篇研究法国移民性别偏好持续性(或缺乏性)的论文。这使得本文的研究结果可以作为监测该国移民融合过程的工具。使用(多级)逻辑回归来检查根据现有孩子的性别和迁移状态向第二个和第三个孩子出生的过渡提供了两个主要结果。首先,关于性别偏好的证据,结果显示:在过渡到第三胎时,法国本土女性的混合性别偏好和弱女儿偏好;第二代土耳其移民女性在过渡到第三胎时的性别偏好混合;在过渡到第三胎时,女儿偏爱第二代北非、撒哈拉以南非洲和越南-老挝-柬埔寨移民妇女。其次,对于移民样本,这些偏好是在生育率下降的情况下出现的,在后代移民中出现,并且平均而言是与原籍国性别偏好的偏差。这不仅指出了后代性别偏好的可塑性,而且还为解释法国移民融合的选择和适应假设提供了可信度。第二代土耳其移民女性在过渡到第三胎时的性别偏好混合;在过渡到第三胎时,女儿偏爱第二代北非、撒哈拉以南非洲和越南-老挝-柬埔寨移民妇女。其次,对于移民样本,这些偏好是在生育率下降的情况下出现的,在后代移民中出现,并且平均而言是与原籍国性别偏好的偏差。这不仅指出了后代性别偏好的可塑性,而且还为解释法国移民融合的选择和适应假设提供了可信度。第二代土耳其移民女性在过渡到第三胎时的性别偏好混合;在过渡到第三胎时,女儿偏爱第二代北非、撒哈拉以南非洲和越南-老挝-柬埔寨移民妇女。其次,对于移民样本,这些偏好是在生育率下降的情况下出现的,在后代移民中出现,并且平均而言是与原籍国性别偏好的偏差。这不仅指出了后代性别偏好的可塑性,而且还为解释法国移民融合的选择和适应假设提供了可信度。过渡到第三胎时的撒哈拉以南非洲和越南-老挝-柬埔寨移民妇女。其次,对于移民样本,这些偏好是在生育率下降的情况下出现的,在后代移民中出现,并且平均而言是与原籍国性别偏好的偏差。这不仅指出了后代性别偏好的可塑性,而且还为解释法国移民融合的选择和适应假设提供了可信度。过渡到第三胎时的撒哈拉以南非洲和越南-老挝-柬埔寨移民妇女。其次,对于移民样本,这些偏好是在生育率下降的情况下出现的,在后代移民中出现,并且平均而言是与原籍国性别偏好的偏差。这不仅指出了后代性别偏好的可塑性,而且还为解释法国移民融合的选择和适应假设提供了可信度。
