Wanting to stay in education is 'NOT main reason why women delay having children'

(University of Oxford) Researchers calculate that for every extra year of educational enrollment after the age of 12, a woman delayed motherhood by an average of six months. However, strikingly, they also find that the main influence on whether a woman postpones having children is largely associated with her family background. Education alone contributes to only 1.5 months.
