本文研究了教育对年轻妇女进入母亲的综合影响，从1971年到2001年，挪威的纵向数据。与以前的研究一致，我们发现入学会推迟生育，但完成教育后会产生追赶效应，因为完成高等教育的妇女比完成较低教育的妇女更早生育第一个孩子。不同教育领域妇女之间的行为对比进一步表明，职业调整效应与机会成本和/或偏好异质性的差异有关。最后，年轻人在生育时间方面的教育差异越来越大，这表明长育儿假和慷慨的家庭福利可能更适合某些工作的职业轨道。
This article studies the composite effect of education on young women's entry into motherhood, using longitudinal data from Norway from 1971 to 2001. In line with previous research, we find that school enrolment delays motherhood, but having finished education there is a catching-up effect, as women who have completed at higher levels have their first child sooner than women who have completed at lower levels. Contrasting behaviour between women within various fields of education further indicate a career-adjustment effect related to differences in opportunity costs and/or preference heterogeneity. Finally, increasing educational differences in the timing of motherhood among younger cohorts suggest that long parental leaves and generous family benefits may fit better with a career track in some jobs than others.
