Diverging Fertility Patterns? Racial and Educational Differences in Fertility Behaviors and their Implications for Socioeconomic Mobility Ph.D. Dissertation, Department of Sociology, University of Southern California, 2016. Also: http://digitallibrary.usc.edu/cdm/compoundobject/collection/p15799coll40/id/229012/rec/17 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: University of Southern California Keyword(s): Age at First Birth; Fertility; Mobility, Social; Racial Differences Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. In this dissertation I analyze the trends and patterns in fertility behaviors in the U.S. from 1973 until 2013, including age at first birth, fertility rates, and levels of childlessness. I identify the socioeconomic and demographic factors associated with these trends and evaluate how they vary by race/ethnicity and social class. Then, I investigate the effects of fertility on women’s opportunities for social mobility. The analyses were performed using two nationally representative datasets: (i) the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG), from 1973 until 2010–2013, and (ii) the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, (NLSY79) 1979–2012. |
