It makes sense that education would hinder childbearing. In nearly every country, women with more education tend to have fewer children than less-educated mothers. But a new research suggests it may actually work the other way around: having more children inhibits women’s education. The research, published Monday, was led by Joel Cohen, head of the Laboratory of Populations at Rockefeller University and Columbia University.
The case for education influencing fertility(生育)is strong. After all, more educated women have children with better survival rates, and they have their children later in life. "There are a lot of people who think it’s education that interferes with fertility. For example, more educated people want to have educated children and they realize that to have children of high quality is more difficult with many children than with fewer children, " says Cohen.
But a large analysis of Norwegian data would suggest otherwise.Tipped off by a fellow demographer(人口统计学家)at the U.N.meeting that Norway maintains a registry(登记处)tracking women’s fertility and educational history, Cohen and other researchers explored data on 26, 349 women born in Norway in 1964 who stayed in the country from age 17 to age 39. They found that women who had children early—by their mid-20s—were much less likely to continue their education beyond the required first two years of high school; they were also less likely to achieve a higher degree later in life than women who delayed childbearing until they finished their education.
So is it education that inhibits fertility, or vice versa? "It seems to be fertility that gets in the way of education, " says Cohen. "If the opposite were true, we would not have seen that the women who put off childbearing had so much more education than the women who bore children early."
Assuming other studies confirm Cohen’s findings, governments ought to let young women know of the potential chilling effect of childbearing. "Young women should be informed of the likely difficulty of pursuing their education if they have children early, " says Cohen. [br] What does Cohen’s remark in the last paragraph mean?
选项
A、Young women should be ready to sacrifice their education for childbearing.
B、Childbearing at an early age helps women deal with difficulties in education.
C、Government should forbid young women to have children early for the sake of education.
D、Young women should know of the risks of having children early regarding their education.
