Summary
This investigation concerns men and women’s fertility in different educational groups. Four educational groups are compared (6 years or less, 9 years, high school and university) in the female and male population. Aggregate measures of overall fertility, like the TFR, show a U relationship between fertility and education. This type of relationship is nevertheless clearer for men’s than for women.
