This study examines female and male first-time parents in Spain between 1999 and 2015. Based on the Labor Force Survey in its panel version, the probability of having a first child is controlled by age and observation period, using the independent variables of place of birth, educational attainment and employment status. Results confirm a delay in first parity births for men and women having a higher education level. The continuance of a gender pattern explains the higher probability of first-time maternity in unemployed women, whereas work is indispensable for being a first-time father. However, inactive and temporary employment negatively affect both genders. The contribution of the immigrant population is confirmed, especially due to its early timetable.Date
