Peer reviewedRindfuss, Ronald R.; St. John, Craig – Journal of Marriage and the Family, 1983
Explores the social determinants of the timing of the first birth in a nationwide sample of 6,752 women. Results showed education at marriage is the most important predictor. Although a few social determinants (i.e., race and religion) have a direct effect, most affect age at first birth through education. (JAC)
