Fertility, Biology, and Behavior: An Analysis of the Proximate
Determinants presents the proximate determinants of natural
fertility. This book discusses the biological and behavioral
dimensions of human fertility that are linked to intermediate
fertility variables. Organized into nine chapters, this book begins
with an overview of the mechanisms through which socioeconomic
variables influence fertility. This text then examines the absolute
and relative age-specific marital fertility rates of selected
populations. Other chapters consider the trends in total fertility
rates of selected countries, including Colombia, Kenya, Korea,
Indonesia, Mexico, Pakistan, France, and United States. This book
discusses as well the effects of deliberate marital fertility
control through contraception and induced abortion. The final
chapter deals with the management of sex composition and
implications for birth spacing. This book is a valuable resource
for reproductive physiologists, social scientists, demographers,
statisticians, biologists, and graduate students with an interest
in the biological and behavioral control of human fertility.
