Effects of age coding on simulated total fertility rate and parity progression ratios for black women and women married age 25+, based on fully-interactive hazard model (bootstrapped SEs)

	Black Women		Married age 25 +
	5-yr age categories	single-year age	5-yr age categories	single-year age

1st parity	0.96 (0.01)	0.96 (0.01)	0.95 (0.01)	0.95 (0.01)
2nd parity	0.82 (0.02)	0.82 (0.02)	0.82 (0.02)	0.83 (0.01)

Simulated Parity Proqression Ratios
Probability of progression from:
No births to 1st parity	0.96 (0.01)	0.96 (0.01)	0.95 (0.01)	0.95 (0.01)
1st to 2nd parity	0.86 (0.02)	0.86 (0.02)	0.86 (0.01)	0.87 (0.01)
2nd to 3rd parity	0.58 (0.02)	0.58 (0.02)	0.45 (0.02)	0.45 (0.02)
3rd to 4th parity	0.53 (0.02)	0.53 (0.02)	0.39 (0.01)	0.39 (0.01)
4th to 5th or higher parity	0.80 (0.07)	0.79 (0.07)	0.52 (0.03)	0.52 (0.03)

All other covariates held at their mean
