Panel (a) of Figure 10 demonstrates that, relative to women born in
homelands, women born in white areas were less likely to have any children. By the early
1990s, 92 percent of African women born in homelands and 89 percent of African women born
in white areas in the 1940s had any children. Similarly, among cohorts of women born in the
9
1940s, women born in white areas gave birth earlier in life (panel b), had longer spacing between
births (panel c), and had their most recent birth later in life (panel d). However, Figure 11
demonstrates that these differences changed for later cohorts.
