Education and Fertility: Implications for the Roles Women Occupy.
Rindfuss, Ronald R.; And Others
American Sociological Review, v45 n3 p431-47 Jun 1980
Concludes that the effect of a woman's education on her age at the time of the birth of her first child is statistically significant. Age at first birth, however, has an insignificant effect on educational attainment. Once childbearing has begun, education has essentially no direct effect on fertility. (Author/GC)
