Título: | Women's Education and Fertility: Results from 26 Demographic and Health Surveys |
Autor: | Castro Martín, Teresa CSIC ORCID | Fecha de publicación: | 1995 | Citación: | Studies in Family Planning 26 (4): 187-202 (1995) | Resumen: | This article presents an updated overview of the relationship between women' s education and fertility. Data from the Demographic and Health Surveys for 26 countries are examined. The analysis confirms that higher education is consistently associated with lower fertility. However, a considerable diversity exists in the magnitude of the gap between upper and lower educational strata and in the strength of the association. In some of the least-developed countries, education might have a positive impact on fertility at the lower end of the educational range. Yet, compared with patterns documented a decade ago, the fertility-enhancing impact of schooling has become increasingly rare. The study also examines the impact of female education on age at marriage, family-size preference, and contraceptive use. It confirms that education enhances women's ability to make reproductive choices. | Versión del editor: | https://doi.org/10.2307/2137845 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/93125 | DOI: | 10.2307/2137845 | E-ISSN: | 1728-4465 |
