Both retrospective and survey data were used to study the associations between womens employment and fertility control. This was an attempt to solve the question as to whether fertility choices follow or precede employment choices for women. The panels constructed from the data illustrate that both fertility control and female employment are ongoing processes which intersect over time in various ways; the 2 variables also reinforce each other. The data demonstrate that women exhibit consistency in their work or nonwork pattern. This consistency holds true when controlling for such factors as parity marital status and race. Events prior to marriage especially employment and education have a major influence on age at marriage a significant fertility variable. The correlation of child-age with employment has declined markedly between 1971 and 1975. The correlation of parity with employment has also declined. These findings are only applicable to young white women in their prime childbearing years. There is still a question as to whether they will generalize to other female cohorts. A new theoretical perspective is offered whereby decision-making and taste for marriage children and employment enter into the final outcome
