Abstract
The purpose of the present study is to examine third birth dynamics by mother tongue group in Turkey a country that has reached the advanced stage of its fertility transition. Third-birth intensities of Turkish speaking mothers are lower than Kurdish speaking mothers and the decline in fertility started much later for the latter group. Kurdish speaking women who cannot read and who live in more customary marriages have the highest third birth risk. We demonstrate that to understand contemporary fertility change in Turkey it is necessary to consider a combination of individual socioeconomic and cultural factors. (authors)
