Women's Educational Attainment and the Timing of Entry into Parenthood
Abstract
Previous research on the relationship between women's educational attainment and the timing of entry into parenthood has produced conflicting results. Although studies have consistently found that educational attainment has a delaying effect on entry into parenthood, there has been disagreement about the existence of a reciprocal effect of the timing of entry into parenthood on educational attainment. This paper attempts to resolve that disagreement by analyzing the relationship between women's educational attainment and the timing of entry into parenthood in a way that builds upon and goes beyond earlier studies. Considerable attention is focused on methodological issues bearing on the modeling and estimation of these effects. The analysis, based on data from a fifteen-year follow-up study of high school students originally surveyed in 1957-58 and resurveyed in 1973-74, indicates that the timing of entry into parenthood does have an effect on the educational attainment of women.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
