Armed Conflict and the Timing of Childbearing in Azerbaijan
Orsola Torrisi · 2020
Catalogue summary
Using retrospective birth histories from Azerbaijan’s 2006 Demographic and Health Survey, the study traces fertility since independence and models whether exposure to the Nagorno-Karabakh war affected transitions to first and later births. It reports higher second-birth likelihood among women exposed through displacement, residence in Karabakh, or bereavement, while finding limited influence on national aggregate trends.
Why this matters
It connects the Artsakh conflict to household demography with explicit survey methods, offering a measured way to examine how violence and displacement can alter reproductive decisions without overstating national-level effects.
