Title: Anticipating Trade-offs: Individual Expectations on Career Development versus Family Formation (joint with Masayuki Yagasaki) 

Abstract: How do individuals perceive the trade-off between career and family formation, and through what mechanisms do they believe the trade-off occurs? To answer this question, we investigate how Japanese university students anticipate future earning, labour supply, marriage, and fertility under hypothetical scenarios that vary with regard to educational investment and the timing of marriage. We find that women perceive a more severe trade-off between educational investment and family formation, with a large part of them believing that women face greater family formation disadvantages through educational investment delaying the timing of marriage.
