Statistics suggest that people born in December, January or February generally have less education, lower levels of intelligence, poorer health, and less income than individuals born in other seasons of the year. According to a recent study by economists Kasey Buckles and Daniel Hungerman, from the University of Notre Dame (USA), this phenomenon is due to the fact that adolescent, poorly educated or single mothers give birth in the cold season. . And therefore their children would grow up and be educated with fewer resources.
In addition, in an article published in the National Bureau of Economic Research Working , researchers say that, in general, surveys reveal that women prefer not to give birth in winter. And that, therefore, those with more training and more economic resources plan the pregnancy so that the delivery occurs in spring or summer.
