Cesarean Sections and Subsequent Fertility Working Paper, Washington University in St. Louis, January 2013 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Washington University Keyword(s): Birth Outcomes; Birth Rate; Births, Repeat / Spacing; Demographic and Health Surveys; Fertility; National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG); Pregnancy and Pregnancy Outcomes Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Cesarean sections are rising all over the world and may, in some countries, soon become the most common delivery mode. A growing body of medical literature documents a robust fact: women undergoing cesarean sections end up having less children. While this medical literature conjectures that this is mostly due to a physiological channel, we adopt a more economic approach to guide our empirical examination of the link between c-sections and subsequent fertility. Exploiting several data sources and adopting a variety of empirical strategies we show that in addition to plausible biological constraints, maternal choices after a cesarean seem to be playing an important role in shaping the negative association between c-sections and subsequent fertility. |
