At some point years of education crimps into childbearing years - I know two women who could easily have obtained their degree even after having a child, but quickly got to a “fuck this shit I’m a mom” and left the program never to return.
I don’t even know if things like FMLA apply to college classes.
- lurk2 1y agoThis was my theory initially but it doesn’t pan out due to the decline being observed among all income and education levels; you would also expect to observe a steeper decline among women with advanced degrees, but women with master’s degrees and doctorates actually have a slightly higher fertility rate than those with just a bachelor’s degree. Taking even 5 years at college still gives a woman around 15 to 20 years to find a partner and have children.
