 Abstract: The weakening negative educational gradient of fertility is usually interpreted as the expression of changes in the way education shapes reproductive decisions across cohorts. We argue, however, that the reversal of the statistical association does not imply a reversal in the underlying mechanisms that connect education and fertility. Instead, we believe the reversal in the statistical association emerges as a result of the convergence of the life-course of individuals with different educational attainment levels across two dimensions: the ability to control the reproductive process and the desire for a given family size. In order to show this we reproduce the results reported in previous studies by using simulated reproductive trajectories, generated from a model that assumes no change in the way education shapes reproductive intentions over time. Beyond our substantive focus, we intend to show how our understanding of key demographic processes could change if we were able to incorporate in our modeling difficult or impossible to observe quantities.
