近几十年来，欧洲和其他地区生育率队列变化的一个特点是开始生育的时间逐渐推迟。然而，英美和欧洲大陆国家之间的生育年龄模式差异也越来越大。本研究使用英国、法国和挪威的大型链接记录数据库来更详细地分析这些差异，重点关注 20 世纪 50 年代和 1960 年代出生的女性的受教育程度和初为人母（第一次生育）的年龄。在英国，这两个群体向后来的第一次生育模式的转变仅限于具有中学及以上学历的女性。对于 20 世纪 60 年代出生的女性来说，具有中学学历的女性首次生育风险的高峰年龄比没有中学学历的女性晚 7 至 11 岁。在法国和挪威，首次生育风险的高峰年龄在两个群体之间的教育水平上变化更为一致。对于 20 世纪 50 年代和 1960 年代的人群来说，法国和挪威女性教育水平的提高也更加一致，使更多女性进入以较晚生育第一胎模式为特征的教育类别。
Progressively later starting of childbearing has been a feature of cohort change in fertility across Europe and elsewhere over recent decades. Growing differences in the age patterns of childbearing between the Anglo-American and continental European countries, however, have also been found. The present study uses large linked-record databases in Britain, France and Norway to analyse these differences in more detail, focussing on age at entry to motherhood (first childbearing) by level of educational attainment among women born in the 1950s and in the 1960s. The shift between these two cohorts towards a later pattern of first childbearing in Britain was confined to women with secondary school qualifications and above. For women born in the 1960s, the peak age for risk of first childbearing among those with secondary school qualifications grew to be between seven and eleven years later than among women without secondary school qualifications. In France and Norway, the peak ages for risk of first childbearing shifted more uniformly across education levels between the two cohorts. For these 1950s and 1960s cohorts, improvements in women's educational levels also occurred more uniformly in France and Norway, moving more women into education categories characterised by later patterns of first childbearing.
