  • Title: [Social origin, education, and age at time of first birth].
    Author: Huinink J.
    Journal: Z Soziol; 1987 Oct; 16(5):367-84, 402. PubMed ID: 12281173.
    Abstract:
    A cohort analysis of the factors affecting age at first birth in the Federal Republic of Germany is presented. The impact of educational status and social class is examined for cohorts born in 1929-1931, 1939-1941, and 1949-1951. The results indicate that the decline in fertility since the 1960s is related to a significant increase in female participation in vocational training programs. A sharp increase in voluntary childlessness among women with higher education is also noted. (SUMMARY IN ENG)
