Title of project:
Costs and Gains to Postponement: How Changes in the Age of Parenthood Influence the Health and Well-being of Children
Proposal summary:
The overarching aim of the COSTPOST project (more detailed summary reported below), which will last for a total of four years, is to investigate the consequences of fertility postponement on a range of outcomes for children and their parents. In particular, the COSTPOST project has been inspired by the fact that since many industrialized countries have experienced a remarkable postponement of first births to older maternal ages, we should know more about its consequences for the well-being of children and their parents.
