Abstract: This paper investigates the determinants of fertility in Norway. More emphasis is paid on identifying the factors affecting the third birth rate and timing of first birth. Female's education is found to be a significant determinant of fertility. The effect of eduction level is negative on the timing of first birth whereas the risk of third birth is higher among higher educated women.
