Biological baby births by age of UC faculty

Biological baby births by age of UC faculty

By taking the same birth history data and fixing it to respondentŐs age at birth of children, the differences in fertility patterns of UC women and men faculty are even clearer. From age 22 to 36, UC faculty men are more likely than UC faculty women to have babies. Women faculty, however, are more likely to have babies from age 36 to 40. This data suggests that UC faculty women may be delaying child birth until their mid-to-late thirties. After age 40, men faculty are again more likely to have biological babies than are women faculty, no doubt because of biological constraints that disproportionately affect women after the age of 40. (Again, this preceding section is included in: Mason and Goulden 2004).
