Men's Average Age And Education Level At Birth Of First Child

From The Wall Street Journal, "Why Some Men Delay Fatherhood: First-time fathers are now more than 27 years old, on average; lengthening transition to adulthood is one reason" by Jo Craven McGinty:

The National Center for Family and Marriage Research, where Dr. Guzzo is an affiliate, analyzed the education, relationship status and average age at fatherhood among men ages 40 to 44 using data from the National Survey of Family Growth.

A potential reason for the delay in fatherhood, the researchers found, is what demographers call the “lengthening transition to adulthood”—the point at which men (and women) feel as if they’ve achieved adult status.
