The Relationship between Military Service and Childbearing for Men and Women Sociological Perspectives 58,4 (December 2015): 595-608. Also: http://spx.sagepub.com/content/58/4/595.abstract Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Pacific Sociological Association Keyword(s): Childbearing; Fertility; Gender Differences; Military Service; Modeling, Fixed Effects Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Using data taken from the 1997 National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY-97), we examine the relationship between military service and childbearing for both men and women. Using a fixed-effects procedure on longitudinal data, we find that military service reduces the fertility of male and female recruits. The negative effect of military service is much larger for women than for men. In addition, the negative effects of military service on childbearing persist after service members leave the military, although the effects diminish over time. Overall, even though military service may not lead to lower completed fertility, the evidence suggests a delaying effect on childbearing. |
