Résumé : | The decisions that young individuals and their families make regarding transitionsfrom school into work, marriage, and parenthood can produce longlastingeffects on their opportunities and well-being. For young women, in particular,schooling duration may affect the timing of other key transitions, suchas their age at marriage and at first birth, and hence also their ability to engagein remunerative work.This article investigates the complex interrelationships between these transitions,with a particular focus on the influence of education on the timing ofmarriage and childbearing and on the ensuing effects on labor market participation.We emphasize the role of family background in shaping these intertwinedcritical life-course decisions. |
