1. Deriving and Modelling Fertility Variables in the NCDS and BCS70
2. Pathways to Parenthood: Exploring the influence of Context as a Predictor of Timing to Parenthood
4. Fertility variables collected at all waves since childhood (Age 23, 33, 41/42, 46 years)
2004 sweep allows for analysis of full fertility schedule adding to previous analyses of NCDS cohort e.g. Holdsworth & Elliott (2001)
Want to create variables for Event History Analysis
First attempt to create variable for modelling entry into parenthood in Event History terms could work as:
Time to first parenthood (Event) = Minimum Recorded Child’s Date of Birth (Age 23, 33, 41/42, 46 years)
Childless cohort members (Censored) = Maximum Recorded Interview Date (Age 23, 33, 41/42, 46 years)
5. Using this method produces the following summary KM statistics:
