title: [A multivariate model for first births].
abstract: "The objective of this study was to construct a multivariate model to explain individual differences in first birth, using economic and sociological fertility theories and the findings from past analyses on data from the Netherlands Fertility Survey.... The explanatory variables found to be significant are age at first birth, household position, labour force participation, educational level, and period of first birth.... The parameters of the model can be used to calculate the probability to remain childless for women with a specific life cycle." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
