Research Note Publication in Demography About Using Census-Held Records for Fertility Research

Colorado Fertility Project

Our team’s paper, authored by Leslie Root, Amanda Stevenson, Katie Genadek, Sara Yeatman, Stefanie Mollborn and Jane Menken, detailing the fertility data set CPF built using restricted-access Census-held data, has been published in the journal Demography. The paper, titled “U.S. Fertility in Life Course Context: A Research Note on Using Census-Held Linked Administrative Records for Geographic and Sociodemographic Subgroup Estimation,” presents the fertility data set we constructed using Census-held data. This paper introduces other researchers to our data and methods, expanding the use of Census-held data for the study of fertility.
