TL;DR: This paper studied the composite effect of education on young women's entry into motherhood, using longitudinal data from Norway from 1971 to 2001, finding that school enrolment delays motherhood but having finished education there is a catching-up effect, as women who have completed at higher levels have their first child sooner than women who had completed at lower levels.
