  • Title: Pathways to a third child in Sweden.
    Author: Berinde D.
    Journal: Eur J Popul; 1999 Dec; 15(4):349-78. PubMed ID: 12159010.
    Abstract:
    The transition from two to three children is investigated, using data on Swedish women's fertility behavior and labor force participation over a period of some 20 years ending in 1992/93. Two questions are examined: what is the relationship between working life and childbearing of two-child mothers? Are there differences in fertility between cohabiting and married couples? Several paths to the third child are identified, one of women with a university education and another of women with preference for more children, reflected by marriage after having the first or the second child or by persistent working experience followed by household work.
