Projekt

Costs and Gains of Postponing Parenthood

Geleitet von Mikko Myrskylä; Susie Lee, Pekka Martikainen (MPIDR / University of Helsinki, Finnland), Kieron Barclay; in Zusammenarbeit mit Alice Goisis (University College London, Vereinigtes Königreich von Großbritannien und Nordirland), Siddartha Aradhya (Stockholm University , Schweden), Øystein Kravdal (University of Oslo, Norwegen), Tegunimataka Anna (Statistics Denmark, Copenhagen, Dänemark)

Advanced maternal and paternal ages are associated with a range of negative offspring outcomes, and they may have serious population-level health effects. This project reexamines whether and how childbearing at later ages may affect outcomes for parents and children.  Ausführliche Beschreibung
