摘要：This article explores the effects of the increasing educational attainment of several cohorts of women living in Madrid and born during the first half of the 20th Century on the historical change of their fertility behaviour. Data from the 1991 Spanish Population Census have been used. The characteristics of this dataset enable the focus on the reproductive trajectories of women in these cohorts based on parity progression. The conclusions point to a clear negative association between education and fertility on the one hand, and between education and marriage on the other. Both of these relationships prove relevant to understand changes in fertility and infertility in the time span considered.
