Several studies have drawn attention to the potential impact of unobserved characteristics on the association between education and parity progression to higher-order births, but only a few studies have attempted to control for such selectivity.
“Whereas several studies have drawn attention to the potential impact of unobserved characteristics on the association between education and parity progression to higher-order births, only a few studies have attempted to control for such selectivity (Kravdal 2001;Kreyenfeld 2002;Kravdal 2007;Jenkins 2011).”

To the extent that educational groups are unequally selected into motherhood, the unequal distribution of unobserved characteristics by educational group may affect educational differentials for second and third birth progression.

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.
