Second generation immigrants in Germany are having fewer babies than their parents, a new study has revealed, denting the widely-held belief that migrant communities could be the nation's fertility engines.
The study, "Fertility of Immigrants: A Two-Generational Approach in Germany", found that children born in Germany to immigrant parents barely have more children than native Germans, daily Die Welt reported Wednesday.
"Women of the second generation have nearly matched German women in their fertility patterns," said study author Nadja Milewski from the University of Rostock.
