An examination was made of the relationship of social origins, educational level, and career mobility to the timing of marriage, timing of initial childbirth within marriage, and family size. Data were analyzed from samples of engineering and science graduates from a large midwestern university. For 11 of 16 analyses of covariance conducted, there were overall significant F's and interaction effects. With continued exposure to higher education, there appeared to be rather pronounced deferral behavior regarding marriage and childbearing. While career mobility had some effect on fertility behavior, the effects were not consistent across all levels of social origins or for both professional groups. The relevance of these findings for two views of the mobility/fertility process was discussed.Finally, the adequacy of the focus on family size as a test of the mobility/fertility process was brought into question once again
