Sammendrag
The decline in fertility is often related to the increased labor
force participation among married women. This article discusses the relationship
between fertility and employment by using a dynamic methodology of
life-course analysis based on time series data. An important question in
the article is whether the probability of having a child is influenced by
employment. We emphasize the probability of a second birth, however we also
give some attention to the third birth.
