Abstract

Education-specific fertility rates are useful for tracking the impacts of education policies on fertility rates. These estimates also serve as foundations for designing and developing population projections. We estimate education- and age-specific fertility rates for 79 countries within the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) database from 1970 to 2020 in five-year intervals. Using a Bayesian approach, we combine data from multiple sources to estimate UN-consistent education- and age-specific fertility rates.
