Projekt

Costs and Gains of Postponing Parenthood

Geleitet von Mikko Myrskylä; Kieron Barclay, Pekka Martikainen (MPIDR / University of Helsinki, Finnland); in Zusammenarbeit mit Martin Kolk (Stockholm University, Schweden), Irma T. Elo (University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Vereinigte Staaten), Ruben C. Arslan (Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, Deutschland), Alice Goisis (University College London, Großbritannien), Kai Willführ (Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg, Deutschland), Berkay Özcan (London School of Economics and Political Science, Großbritannien)

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 might affect outcomes for parents and children.  Ausführliche Beschreibung
