For most of human history a natural fertility regime has prevailed throughout the world: there has been almost no conscious limitation of family size within marriage, and women have spent their reproductive lives tied to the wheel of childbearing. Only recently in developed countries has fertility been brought under conscious control by individual couples and childbearing fallen to an average of two births per woman. The explanation of this fertility revolution is the main concern of this book.Richard A. Easterlin and Eileen M. Crimmins present and test a fertility theory that has gained increasing attention over the last decade, a supplydemand theory that integrates economic and sociological approaches to fertility determination. The results of the tests, which draw on data from four developing countriesColombia, India, Sri Lanka, and Taiwanare highly consistent, though a number of the conclusions are likely to arouse controversy. For example, couples motivation for fertility control appears to be the prime mover in the fertility revolution, rather than access to family planning services or unfavorable attitudes toward such services.The interdisciplinary approach and nontechnical exposition of this study will attract a wide readership among economists, sociologists, demographers, anthropologists, statisticians, biologists, and others.
