Can educational expansion explain postponement of childbearing since 1945? The graph depicts the observed trends in mean age at first birth and education (age at leaving) for successive birth cohorts and the predicted trend in age at first birth by education using the OLS and MZ estimates. The trend for educational level was rescaled to that of age at first birth. Predictions were based on estimates from Model 2, Table 2, and data from Table 1. Source: General trends in education were derived from British General Household Surveys (2000–2006) and age at first birth from the Office for National Statistics, Cohort fertility, Table 2 (Office National Statistics 2013)

Economic growth, educational expansion and cohort changes in sibship size disadvantage in the years of education: the red dashed line shows the fitted line when East Asian countries are excluded. GDP per capita is are measured by the three-year averages around the beginning year (1960) and the end year (1990). These years, 1960 and 1990, capture the teenage years of the 1941–1950 cohort and the 1971–1980 cohort. We compare the 1941–1950 cohort (not the 1931–1940 cohort) with the 1971–1980 cohort because GDP per capita is available only from 1960 for many countries. For educational expansion, we use the difference in the average years of educational attainment between the 1931–1940 cohort and the 1971–1980 cohort from our ISEAD samples.

Convergence of marital hazard ratios across space, for women born 1956–1960 and 1981–1985. Clouds represent 95 % confidence intervals. Confidence is 100 % at the baseline ratio (no formal education, lowest observed coefficient for percentage ever educated) for each model. Each figure’s range of coefficients for percentage ever educated reflects the observed country-cohort range for women in that birth cohort. Both of these time-constrained plots (without controls for birth year or urban/rural status) depict convergence that operates across space. Convergence among the earlier cohort is primarily driven by the behaviors of uneducated women, consistent with the bandwagon effect (i.e., uneducated women’s adoption of highly educated women’s behaviors in countries with high levels of educational expansion). Among the later cohort, convergence is driven by the behaviors of the uneducated (consistent with a bandwagon effect) and the highly educated (consistent with our theory of education as a less effective marker of elite status in countries where high education is the norm)
