This study examines the extent of congruence between the attitudes of young men and women concerning the appropriate roles for women and their own fertility expectations. It is hypothesized that women, whites, older youth, and youth expecting to complete higher education should show greater independent associations between their attitudes of women's roles and their fertility expectations. In addition, the hypotheses are consistent with the following notions: (1) youth for whom attitudes toward women's roles and fertility expectations have more direct relevance, particularly in the short run, display greater congruence between their values and expectations; and (2) youth who are less assimilated into the socioeconomic mainstream exhibit less congruence between their values and expectations.
