Fertility postponement is largely due to rising educational enrolment
The rise in educational enrolment is often cited as a possible cause of the trend to later childbearing in developed societies but direct evidence of its contribution to the aggregate change in fertility tempo is scarce. We show that rising enrolment, resulting in later ages at the end of education, accounts for a substantial part of the upward shift in the mean age at first birth in the 1980s ...
متن کاملRising Dispersion in Age at First Birth in Europe: Is It Related to Fertility Postponement?
This paper examines the dispersion of fertility across age and time which has rarely been studied. Using data from the Human Fertility Database, we examine fertility age schedules by looking at standard deviations in age at first births in European countries at different stages of fertility postponement. The standard deviation at first birth remained overall constant during the start of fertili...
متن کاملRudiments of recent fertility decline in Hungary: Postponement, educational differences, and outcomes of changing partnership forms
Our study describes fundamental changes in childbearing behavior in Hungary. It documents current postponement of entry into motherhood (first birth) and uncovers signs of delay in second birth. We place the behavioral modifications into historical time and reveal the basic role of the political, economic, and societal transformation of Hungary that started in 1989-1990 in these modifications. ...
متن کاملTempo-Adjusted Period Parity Progression Measures, Fertility Postponement and Completed Cohort Fertility
In this paper we introduce a new set of tempo-adjusted period parity progression measures in order to account for two distinct implications caused by delays in childbearing: tempo distortions imply an underestimation of the quantum of fertility in observed period data, and the fertility aging effect reduces higher parity births because the respective exposure is shifted to older ages when the p...
متن کاملInter-subject variation in partition coefficient is largely due to variation in LGE blood T1
Background MRI is the only non-invasive modality capable of quantifying diffuse cardiac fibrosis using late gadolinium enhanced (LGE) cardiac T1 mapping. This pulse sequence measures LGE cardiac T1, which directly correlates with the amount of extracellular contrast agent occupying the expanded extracellular matrix containing the interstitial fibrosis, and obviates the need for a reference norm...
