In light of the ongoing educational shift from favoring men to favoring women, this study contributes to the literature on fertility by investigating the relationship between educational pairings and fertility intentions. To test two competing hypotheses, nationally representative data from the latest wave (2015–2017) of the National Survey of Family Growth were used, and four generalized estimating equation models were estimated. Results indicate that women’s intentions for additional children were influenced by educational pairings. Specifically, when highly educated women had a highly educated partner, their fertility intentions were higher than lower-educated women, but this difference disappeared if those women were in hypogamous relationships; when lower-educated women had lower- or medium-educated partners, their intentions for additional children were significantly lower than highly educated women, but the difference disappeared when she had a highly educated partner. Findings from this study provide new insights into fertility intentions by taking into account both partners’ education.

美国伙伴的教育配对和生育意愿:2015-2017年全国家庭成长调查的证据

鉴于当前教育从偏爱男性转向偏爱女性的原因,本研究通过研究教育配对与生育意愿之间的关系,为有关生育的文献做出了贡献。为了检验两个相互竞争的假设,使用了《全国家庭增长调查》最新一轮(2015-2017年)的全国代表性数据,并估计了四个广义估计方程模型。结果表明,女性配对孩子的意愿受到教育配对的影响。具体来说,当受过良好教育的妇女与受过良好教育的伴侣在一起时,她们的生育意愿要高于受教育程度较低的妇女,但是如果这些妇女处于一夫一妻制关系,这种差异就会消失。当受教育程度较低的女性有受过教育程度较低或中等的伴侣时,他们对生育更多孩子的意愿明显低于受过高等教育的妇女,但是当她有了受过良好教育的伴侣时,这种差异就消失了。该研究的结果通过考虑双方的受教育程度,为生育意图提供了新的见解。
