Description:

Objectives—This report presents birth rates for the United States by educational attainment of mother for 1994. Rates are shown by age, race, Hispanic origin of mother, birth order, and marital status. Calculated for the first time are total fertility rates by educational attainment of mother.

Methods—Descriptive tabulations of birth rates by educational attainment of mother for the United States are presented and explained.

Results—Birth rates differ considerably by educational attainment. In 1994 women with 0–8 years of education had the highest birth rates overall, while those who started but did not complete college had the lowest. For women 30–39 years of age, however, those with college degrees had the highest rates. Among women aged 25 years and older, unmarried women with less education have much higher birth rates than unmarried women who attended school longer. Conversely, rates for collegeeducated married women are much higher than those of less educated women. For college-educated women, low first birth rates for women in their twenties and high rates for women in their thirties point to the continuing trend of delayed childbearing.
