The London Times has a report on first borns:

Landed gentry have put their faith in primogeniture for centuries. The eldest inherited the estate, the second joined the Church and the third took a trade. But there is now scientific evidence to prove that they had the right idea.

A 10-year study of nearly 1.5 million Norwegians has concluded that, regardless of family size and income, the eldest child is the most successful academically and at work.
