It makes sense that education would hinder childbearing. In nearly every country, women with more education tend to have fewer children than less-educated mothers. But a new research suggests it may actually work the other way around: having more children inhibits women’s education. The research, published Monday, was led by Joel Cohen, head of the Laboratory of Populations at Rockefeller University and Columbia University.
The case for education influencing fertility(生育)is strong. After all, more educated women have children with better survival rates, and they have their children later in life. "There are a lot of people who think it’s education that interferes with fertility. For example, more educated people want to have educated children and they realize that to have children of high quality is more difficult with many children than with fewer children, " says Cohen.
But a large analysis of Norwegian data would suggest otherwise.Tipped off by a fellow demographer(人口统计学家)at the U.N.meeting that Norway maintains a registry(登记处)tracking women’s fertility and educational history, Cohen and other researchers explored data on 26, 349 women born in Norway in 1964 who stayed in the country from age 17 to age 39. They found that women who had children early—by their mid-20s—were much less likely to continue their education beyond the required first two years of high school; they were also less likely to achieve a higher degree later in life than women who delayed childbearing until they finished their education.
So is it education that inhibits fertility, or vice versa? "It seems to be fertility that gets in the way of education, " says Cohen. "If the opposite were true, we would not have seen that the women who put off childbearing had so much more education than the women who bore children early."
Assuming other studies confirm Cohen’s findings, governments ought to let young women know of the potential chilling effect of childbearing. "Young women should be informed of the likely difficulty of pursuing their education if they have children early, " says Cohen.
What is the finding of Cohen and other researchers’ analysis of Norwegian data?
选项
A、It is difficult for women who bore children early to get a higher degree.
B、Women who dropped out to bear children will not come back any more.
C、Norwegian women are only required to finish two years of high school.
D、Most of the Norwegian women have children in their mid-20s by custom.
答案
A
解析
根据题干关键词analysis of Norwegian data定位到第三段:They found that women who had children early—by their mid-20s—were much less likely to continue their education beyond the required first two years of high school; they were also less likely to achieve a higher degree later in life than women who delayed childbearing until they finished their education.他们发现生育年龄小的女性—二十五六岁——在完成强制的中学前两年学习之后继续接受教育的几率小得多;并且,比起那些推迟至完成学业之后才生育的女性,她们后来获得高等学位的几率也小得多。A)项是原文的同义转述,故为答案。
