Low Fertility of Highly Educated Women: The Impact of Child Care Infrastructure
Schrage, Andrea - Wirtschaftswissenschaftliche Fakultät, Universität … - 2007
Most studies of the negative correlation between fertility and education treat education as exogenously raising wages and the cost of child rearing, thus reducing fertility. I relax these assumptions in two respects. First, child costs don't increase with the value of time when external child...
