What exactly is a "Nubile age group"?
- berkes 3y ago> A nubile woman is a nulligravida who has recently completed physical growth, puberty, and sexual development (Symons, 1979). This is usually accomplished 3–4 years after menarche in the mid to late teens when female reproductive value is maximal (Bowles & Posel, 2005; Fisher, 1930; Keyfitz & Flieger, 1971).

- znpy 3y agounironically, I've been downloading ISO images of the cds that used to be sold with dictionaries. They're fairly small, they work well with wine and they work offline. I understand that you might be afraid of triggering stuff, and in that case the good old (paper) dictionary might help you.

- mythhabit 3y agoFrom the abstract: > Using data for 1.7 million first births from 1990 U.S. natality and mortality records, we compared outcomes for women with first births (primiparas) aged 16–20 years (when first births typically occur in forager and subsistence groups) with those aged 21–25 years. The younger primiparas had a much lower risk of potentially life-threatening complications of labor and delivery So a reasonable assumption is that they mean 16-20 years.
