Seeding the gender revolution: women's education and cohort fertility among the baby boom generations
In Europe and the USA, female educational attainment started to increase around the middle of the twentieth century. The expected implication was fertility decline and postponement, whereas in fact the opposite occurred. We analyse trends in the quantum of cohort fertility among the baby boom generations and how these relate to womenâs education in fourteen European countries and the USA. The proportion of parents with exactly two children rose steadily, and homogeneity in family sizes increased over the 1901 to the 1945 cohorts. Progression to a third child and beyond declined in all the countries, continuing the ongoing trends of the fertility transition. In countries with a baby boom, and in particular among women with post-primary education, this was compensated for by decreasing childlessness and increasing parity progression to a second child. These changes, linked to earlier stages of the fertility transition, laid the foundations for later fertility patterns associated with âthe gender revolutionâ.status: Published onlin
