Thus, higher education of mothers significantly increased the likelihood of having a healthy child, as did longer duration of breastfeeding. Coefficients of other explanatory variables are however insignificant. 24 An example of fertility analysis • Dependent variable: Number of children ever born (three categories: none, few, multiple) • Independent variables: Individual characteristics (age, place of residence, ethnicity, education)
