Trust has recently received some attention in the demographic literature as one potential factor for fertility considerations in post-industrial societies. The relevance of trust has been argued for in several ways, including as a resilience mechanism against different perceived uncertainties that may affect childrearing decisions. Trust is also related to a host of positive political and economic outcomes that all enable childbearing. So far, studies have used macro-level or multilevel frameworks and a measure of social trust that focuses on confidence in fellow members of society. In our study, we use two novel modules of the Swedish Generations and Gender Survey 2021 to further study this relationship. First, we analyse the effect associations of different measures of interpersonal and institutional trust withon individuals’ fertility intentions. Second, we inquire whether either interpersonal or institutional trust acts as a resilience mechanism against various individual and global uncertainties. The results do not show trust to be a decisive factor behind fertility intentions in Sweden. The absence of strong associations may be due to Sweden being a pronounced high-trust society, including with its inclusive labour markets and welfare services.
