Cet article étudie les liens entre les choix d'études et de carrière, et la décision d'avoir des enfants chez un échantillon de femmes ayant un diplôme universitaire. La recherche présentée ici tente d'inter‐préter les résultats tirés d'une étude longitudinale sur les diplô‐mées des universités de l'Alberta et du recensement de 1991, selon lesquels les femmes qui travaillent dans les secteurs traditionnels tels que l'éducation et les sciences infirmières sont plus nombreuses à avoir des enfants dans la trentaine que les diplômées dans des domaines plus nouveaux. L'article décrit les expériences d'un échantillon de femmes envisageant ou vivant la maternité dans divers milieux de travail, traditionnels ou non. Tout en reconnais‐sant les effets probables de la socialisation des rapports entre les hommes et les femmes sur les choix professionnels et familiaux, l'article suggère que l'organisation du travail influe concrètement sur la décision d'enfanter. This paper examines the relationship between educational and occupational choices, and decisions about having children, among a sample of university‐educated women. The research described here attempts to interpret the finding, evident in a longitudinal panel study of Alberta university graduates as well as in the 1991 Census, that a higher proportion of women in traditional fields like education or nursing have children by their thirties than do graduates of more non‐traditional fields. The paper reports the experiences of a sample of women as they deal with the possibility, or the reality, of motherhood in a variety of traditional and non‐traditional workplaces. While acknowledging the probable effects of gender socialization both on occupational choices and on family intentions, the paper suggests that the organization of work also materially affects reproductive decision making
