  • Age at first birth and family size: Evidence from a longitudinal study

    Deborah S Freedman, Deborah Freedman et al.ARTICLEBiodemography and Social Biology1981References: 10

    This paper examines the correlates of the relationship of age at first birth to completed parity, using data from a fifteen‐year longitudinal study. Particular emphasis is given to measures of orientation toward family roles which have been singled out in previous studies as a likely causal factor not yet examined. Women who had an early first birth went on to have larger families than women who postponed childbearing longer. Demographic factors,…
