Education and postponement of maternity
One of the most important demographic issues of our time is the increasing age of women at motherhood. This happens in the northern social democratic states Sweden and Norway, in the catholic countries Italy, Spain and Ireland, in the West European countries Netherlands and Germany, in the former socialist transition countries Czech Republic and East Germany, and in the liberal democracy of the United States. The postponement of maternity and the related issue of declining fertility rates are of major interest to policy makers and have provoked much scientific research. This book examines various economic aspects of the role of women’s education in the postponement of maternity in these ten industrialized countries. This book investigates these countries using individual or household survey data and looks particular at the increasing age at motherhood and the investment in education of the mother. In search of socio-economic explanations for this relationship each chapter investigates a specific related research question.
