TL;DR: The authors used a census-based dataset of 334 Prussian counties in 1849 to investigate the relationship between fertility and education and found that correlation between education and fertility runs both ways, based on separate instrumental-variable models that instrument fertility by sex ratios and education by landownership inequality and distance to Wittenberg education.
Abstract: The trade-off between child quantity and quality is a crucial ingredient of unified growth models that explain the transition from Malthusian stagnation to modern growth We present first evidence that such a trade-off indeed existed already in the nineteenth century, exploiting a unique census-based dataset of 334 Prussian counties in 1849 Furthermore, we find that causation between fertility and education runs both ways, based on separate instrumental-variable models that instrument fertility by sex ratios and education by landownership inequality and distance to Wittenberg Education in 1849 also predicts the fertility transition in 1880–1905

TL;DR: For example, this paper found that unmarried parents are much more likely to have had a child by a previous partner than married parents, and race/ ethnicity is strongly associated with multipartnered fertility as is mothers young age at first birth and fathers history of incarceration.
Abstract: Recent trends in marriage and fertility have increased the number of adults having children by more than 1 partner a phenomenon that we refer to as multipartnered fertility. This article uses data from the Fragile Families and Child Well-being Study to examine the prevalence and correlates of multipartnered fertility among urban parents of a recent birth cohort (N = 4300). We find that unmarried parents are much more likely to have had a child by a previous partner than married parents. Also race/ ethnicity is strongly associated with multipartnered fertility as is mothers young age at first birth and fathers history of incarceration. To the extent that childrearing across households diminishes parental resources multipartnered fertility has important consequences for childrens well-being. (authors)
