Education, Marriage, and First Conception in Malaysia.

Brien, Michael J.; Lillard, Lee A.

Journal of Human Resources, v29 n4 p1167-1204 Fall 1994

Increase in age at first conception across cohorts and ethnic groups (Malay, Chinese, Indian) is fully accounted for by cohort and ethnic differences in the age at marriage. (Author/SK)
