生育头胎较晚的妇女工资较高。本文基于一个简单的人力资本投资和初次生育时间的生命周期模型对这一事实进行了解释，该模型得出了晚育者比早育者倾向于更多地投资于人力资本的条件（这些条件是合理满足的）。实证分析发现，晚育者的工资较高，主要是通过更大的可衡量的人力资本投资。
Women who have first births relatively late in life earn higher wages. This papers offers an explanation of this fact based on a simple life-cycle model of human capital investment and timing of first birth, The model yields conditions (that are plausibly satisfied) under which late childbearers will tend to invest more heavily in human capital than early childbearers. The empirical analysis finds results consistent with the higher wages of late childbearers arising primarily through greater measurable human capital investment.
