在过去的二十年中，经合组织国家的生育率下降，并且与女性劳动参与率呈正相关。我利用由23个经合组织国家组成的样本组来研究不同的劳动力市场安排如何塑造了这些趋势。南欧常见的高失业率和不稳定的就业合同抑制了生育率，尤其是年轻女性的生育率。为了通过早期获取技能增加终身收入并将失业风险降至最低，年轻女性推迟（或放弃）生育。此外，通过提供就业稳定性的大量公共就业岗位，以及与先前就业相关的优厚产假福利（如斯堪的纳维亚半岛国家的情况），提高了25 - 29岁和30 - 34岁女性的生育率。
During the last two decades fertility rates have decreased and have become positively correlated with female participation rates across OECD countries. I use a panel of 23 OECD nations to study how different labor market arrangements shaped these trends. High unemployment and unstable contracts, common in Southern Europe, depress fertility, particularly of younger women. To increase lifetime income though early skill-acquisition and minimize unemployment risk, young women postpone (or abandon) childbearing. Further, both a large share of public employment, by providing employment stability, and generous maternity benefits linked to previous employment, such as those in Scandinavia, boost fertility of the 25-29 and 30-34 year old women.
