随着妇女上大学的人数增加，越来越多的妇女从以前无法上学和完成学业的背景上大学。这为我们提供了机会和动力，以研究大学对不同社会背景和早期成就水平的生育率的影响。尽管有大量的文献研究教育对女性生育能力的影响，研究人员还没有评估选择进入大学的影响的变化。从1979年全国青年纵向调查的数据，美国妇女，我们研究的影响，及时上大学和完成对妇女的生育倾向参加和完成大学，使用多级泊松和离散时间eventhistory模型。按倾向分数分层分解大学的影响，我们发现，降低生育率的大学效应集中在相对弱势的社会背景和早期成就水平低的女性中。大学对生育的影响减弱，因为我们观察到来自更能预测大学入学率和完成率的背景的女性。
As college going among women has increased, more women are going to college from backgrounds that previously would have precluded their attendance and completion. This affords us the opportunity and motivation to look at the effects of college on fertility across a range of social backgrounds and levels of early achievement. Despite a substantial literature on the effects of education on women’s fertility, researchers have not assessed variation in effects by selection into college. With data on U.S. women from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979, we examine effects of timely college attendance and completion on women’s fertility by the propensity to attend and complete college, using multilevel Poisson and discrete-time eventhistory models. Disaggregating the effects of college by propensity score strata, we find that the fertility-decreasing college effect is concentrated among women from comparatively disadvantaged social backgrounds and low levels of early achievement. The effects of college on fertility attenuate as we observe women from backgrounds that are more predictive of college attendance and completion.
