TLDR
In this article, a multivariate analysis using a combined sample of the 1986-89 General Household Surveys was carried out to examine the recent differentials in fertility in Britain using a set of quantum and tempo indicators, including total births, proportion ever marrying and each parity progression ratio up to the fourth.Abstract:
"Recent differentials in fertility in Britain are examined in a multivariate analysis using a combined sample of the 1986-89 General Household Surveys. The range of quantum and tempo indicators analyzed covers: total births, proportion ever marrying and each parity progression ratio up to the fourth, mean age at marriage and each birth interval up to the fourth. The differentials appearing are, by and large, narrow and are consistent with traditional findings and recent research.... In the case of education, however, several quantum variables, having displayed an initially inverse association, become directly associated with terminal education age when initial age and other factors are controlled."read more

TL;DR: The standardized rate of third birth declined by over 50 percent in Austria between the late 1970s and the mid-1990s as discussed by the authors and the third birth was also postponed gradually over the years until 1991-92, after which the tempo of childbearing suddenly increased in response to a change in the parental-leave policy.

Childbearing Following Marital Dissolution in Britain
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the subsequent fertility of British women who have experienced the dissolution of their first marriage in recent decades and found that a women's age and her repartnering status were the factors most strongly associated with the probability of a post-dissolution conception.
