Year, pages: 2021, 43 - 61

The fertility postponement transition represents one of the most important aspects of changes in the reproductive behaviour in Slovakia after 1989. An important aspect of these changes is the extension of the study period and the increase of women’s education. The main goal of this article was to analyze possible spatial differences of selected aspects of fertility timing in connection with the achieved education of women. The effort was also to point out possible changes between the two periods – the beginning of the transformation process and the current state. The obtained results confirmed the considerable differentiation of the process of changes in the timing of fertility between individual educational groups. In the case of less educated women, we observe are witnessing a deepening age and spatial pluralization, the emergence of relatively significant spatial differences in the timing of fertility, while in the more educated persons we record are witnessing considerable age homogamy and fertility concentration.
