这一风险模型分析是基于最近的一次抽样调查的数据，该调查与税务局的个人收入记录有关。它表明，在挪威，工作经验大大增加了成为父母的比率，这一结果在其他国家以前的调查中没有明显的表现。此外，分析证实，上学时间延长是头胎年龄上升的一个重要原因。单身妇女的生育强度随着其教育水平和收入潜力的提高而降低。除此之外，与妇女目前或未来的工资有关的变量似乎并不重要。这些结果表明，财富积累值得在理论模型中占据中心地位，并对高收入潜力女性生育成本高的概念提出质疑。其他解释也进行了讨论。
This hazard model analysis is based on data from a recent sample survey linked with individual income records from thc Directorate for Taxation. It demonstrates that work experience strongly increases the rate of entry into parenthood in Norway, a result which has not appeared clearly in previous investigations in other countries. Moreover, the analysis confirms that longer time spent in school is an important explanation for the rising age at first birth. The birth intensity for a single woman decreases as her educational level and income potential improve. Apart from that, variables related to current or prospective women's wages seem to be unimportant. These results suggest that wealth accumulation deserves a central position in the theoretical models, and throw doubt on the notion that costs of childbearing are high for women with a high earning potential. Alternative interpretations are also discussed.
