AB Policy interventions that increase insurance coverage for infertility treatmentsmay affect fertility trends, and ultimately, population age structures. However,such policies have ignored the overall impact of coverage on fertility. We examineshort-term and long-term effects of increased insurance coverage for infertility on thetiming of first births and on women’s total fertility rates. Our main contribution is toshow that infertility mandates enacted in the United States during the 80s and 90s didnot increase the total fertility rates of women by the end of their reproductive lives.We also show evidence that these mandates induced women to put off motherhood.
