Abstract:
Behind a stable and relatively high fertility level in Norway during the 1990s we find
increasing differences in the pattern of fertility both in regard to the timing of the
first childbirth and number of children born. In this paper, data from the Central
Population Register in Norway are used to provide a review of recent fertility trends and
discuss the consequences of education level on differences in fertility patterns. The paper
will also provide some indication of aspects that will be dealt with in future projects.
