College-educated Catholic women in the 1976 National Survey of Family Growth had higher actual and expected fertility than did college-educated Protestants. Moreover, Catholic colleges or universities had a pronatalist effect on alumnae. Thus, a significant part of the higher Catholic than Protestant cumulative fertility among college-educated women arose from the greater propensity of such Catholics to attend sectarian schools and colleges. The implications are explored.
在1976年全国家庭成长调查中，受过大学教育的天主教女性的实际生育率和预期生育率高于受过大学教育的新教女性。此外，天主教学院或大学对女校友有鼓励生育的影响。因此，受过大学教育的女性中天主教徒的累计生育率高于新教徒，很大一部分原因是这类天主教徒更倾向于就读宗派学校和学院。本文探讨了其中的影响。
