Note: Model controls for age of woman, age difference between spouses, presence of children over 4, Household status (head family or lodger), migration status (except Iceland). Fixed effects at lowest geographical level. P-values are based on robust standard errors. Elasticities indicate the proportional change in number of children compared to the reference category.
