In Sweden, parents receive a parental-leave allowance of a high percentage (currently 80%) of their pre-birth salary for about a year in connection with any birth.If they space their births sufficiently closely, they avoid a reduction waist deep dvd in the allowance caused by any reduced income earned between the births.The gain is popularly called a "speed premium".In previous work we 8x4.25 have shown that childbearing was sped up correspondingly.This is clear evidence of a causal effect of a policy change on childbearing behavior.
In the present paper, we study how this change in behavior was adopted in various social strata of the Swedish population.
