This paper explores the relationship between the age at first birth and the timing of subsequent fertility in Costa Rica and in four rural villages and two urban areas of Guatemala. The results indicate that, for Costa Rica, the age at first birth is significantly related to the tempo of subsequent births, and that this association, at least for the interval to second birth, remains significant when socio-economic factors and marital status at the time of first birth are held constant. While the results suggest that the age at first birth is related to timing of the second in the Guatemalan sample as well, the association is weaker and less consistent than in Costa Rica.
本文探讨了哥斯达黎加以及危地马拉四个乡村和两个城市地区首次生育年龄与随后生育时间之间的关系。结果表明，对于哥斯达黎加而言，首次生育年龄与随后生育的节奏显著相关，并且当首次生育时的社会经济因素和婚姻状况保持不变时，这种关联至少在到第二次生育的间隔方面仍然显著。虽然结果表明首次生育年龄在危地马拉样本中也与第二次生育时间有关，但这种关联比在哥斯达黎加更弱且不太一致。
