💥New publication in Population Studies: We explore how health in early adulthood influences fertility, using data from the 1958 British birth cohort. Read more here 👇

We find that poor SRH (mostly among men) and a BMI outside the healthy range (mostly among women) at age 23 are associated with lower fertility and underachieving fertility goals.
We also find that employment and union history partly mediate (but do not erase) the effect of health on fertility.

Health in early adulthood and fertility: A study based on the 1958 British cohort Health is rarely used as an explanatory variable in fertility studies in high-income contexts, unlike in low-income settings. Using the 1958 National Child Development Study, we explore how self-ra...
