Education and reproduction in low-fertility settings

This conference is organised to investigate aggregate and individual links, as well as causal mechanisms, between
level of education and reproductive behaviour among women and men. The discussion will cover countries, regions and populations with below-replacement or around - replacement fertility. Empirical and theoretical contributions examining the relationship between education and union formation, fertility and reproductive behaviour are welcome. The authors of the papers selected for the conference will be invited to submit their manuscripts to the special issue of the Vienna Yearbook of Population Research (2017) which will be devoted to the topic of the conference.
