With the rising occurrence of climatic events and their implications for population dynamics (migration, mortality, and fertility), understanding the interplay between disasters and fertility decisions becomes increasingly important. However, the literature on the relationship between disasters and fertility remains limited. This paper aims to bridge this research gap by comprehensively reviewing published studies over recent decades. The review uncovers the underlying determinants associated with changes in fertility and their relationship with disasters. This review examines peer-reviewed journal articles published between 1990 and 2022, which focused on disaster events regardless of time and place, written in English and available with full-texts, including those categorized under Demography, Family Studies, Environmental Studies and Geography in selected databases: Web of Science, Scopus, CINAHL, PubMed, and Google Scholar. In total, 73 original articles were analyzed. Disasters have varying effects on fertility rates, with some studies showing an increase in fertility due to limited access to reproductive health services and the impact of child mortality. In contrast, others indicate a decline linked to socioeconomic changes and restricted healthcare access. Policymakers and researchers must consider these complexities when designing interventions to address the diverse impacts of disasters on fertility patterns and behaviors. Further research is needed to deepen our understanding and inform targeted policies.

探讨生育率变化与灾害之间的关系:文献综述

随着气候事件发生次数的增加及其对人口动态(移民、死亡率和生育率)的影响,了解灾害与生育决策之间的相互作用变得越来越重要。然而,关于灾害与生育率之间关系的文献仍然有限。本文旨在通过全面回顾近几十年来已发表的研究来弥补这一研究空白。该审查揭示了与生育率变化及其与灾害的关系相关的潜在决定因素。本综述审查了 1990 年至 2022 年间发表的同行评审期刊文章,这些文章重点关注灾难事件,无论时间和地点,以英文撰写并提供全文,包括选定的人口学、家庭研究、环境研究地理学下的文章。数据库:Web of Science、Scopus、CINAHL、PubMed 和 Google Scholar。总共分析了 73 篇原创文章。灾害对生育率有不同的影响,一些研究表明,由于获得生殖健康服务的机会有限以及儿童死亡率的影响,生育率有所上升。相比之下,其他人则表明下降与社会经济变化和医疗保健机会限制有关。政策制定者和研究人员在设计干预措施以解决灾害对生育模式和行为的多种影响时必须考虑这些复杂性。需要进一步的研究来加深我们的理解并为有针对性的政策提供信息。
