Abstract	"A considerable amount is known regarding family and career transitions among cohorts of college graduates during much of the past century. But far less is known about whether these transitions have been similar for those who graduated from the more selective institutions of higher education. Focusing on more selective institutions is also called for by many recent issues. Among them is the discussion of "opting out" in the popular literature, which has concerned the possibility that female graduates of highly selective colleges squander their education. In addition, we do not know if the narrowing of the gender gap in earnings has also occurred among those in the upper tail of the educational distribution. We ask whether the general trends of the past three decades in family and career transitions can be observed, as well, among those graduating from one of the most elite institutions of higher education. We also explore the trade-offs between family and career, particularly for college graduate women." (Text excerpt, IAB-Doku).
