Samenvatting

This chapter overviews and clarifies various demographic aspects of fertility postponement: what are the main causes and consequences? It is shown that young adults have become much more autonomous in making decisions. However, making rational decisions about irreversible life events is far from easy. And more often than before union dissolution interferes before people have realised the number of children they want to have.
