Age-specific fertility by educational level in the Finnish male cohort born 1940‒1950

Is young fatherhood causally related to midlife mortality? A sibling fixed-effect study in Finland

“…Educational level was controlled, because of its close links with both fertility timing and mortality,16 23 although the direction of causality between education and fertility is ambiguous 24. We further controlled for marital status, because young fatherhood was associated with unstable marriages in our sample, and marriage has been shown to be associated with decreased mortality 25.…”

Do different educational pairings lead to different fertility outcomes? A cohort perspective for the Greek case

“…By contrast, there is relatively little demographic research on this relationship among men. The limited empirical findings on this issue suggest that the negative association between education and fertility does not vary by gender (Zhang 2011), but that men and women with similar educational levels have different fertility rates (Nisén et al 2014) and different patterns of childlessness (Kravdal and Rindfuss 2008). It has also been shown that the association between the long-term changes in the TFR and the trends in education-specific fertility levels differ between men and women .…”

The compositional effects of education and employment on Greek male and female fertility rates during 2000‒2014

“…These methods have mainly been used to estimate the educational composition effect on fertility developments (Brzozowska 2014;Nisén et al 2014;Ní Bhrolcháin and Beaujouan 2012;Rendall et al 2010;Neels and de Wachter 2010;Neels 2009;Retherford et al 2004;Rindfuss, Morgan, and Offutt 1996). By contrast, there have been relatively few studies that have examined the combined effects of education and employment on fertility (Tragaki and Bagavos 2014).…”
