Abstract

The article attempts to describe the structure of post-divorce childbirths with regard to the educational level and the age of post-divorced mothers. A second aim of the research is to answer to the question whether some of the characteristics of first marriage could be determinants of the future divorce and post-divorce childbearing. Our analysis will include married women who born their first child in 1993, and we will observe their fertility trajectories until 2004. The Multinomial Logistic Regression and Event-History Modelling are used in the analysis. The results show that the post-divorce fertility is significantly structured by mothers education and age. The hypothesis tested through modelling rejects the importance of educational and age homogamy for this specific type of fertility, but confirms the effect of individual educational level. All models show that the effect of fathers education for first order births is stronger than the effect of mothers education.
