This book presents a critical account of the theories, hypotheses
and models that have been advanced to explain and to predict
population change in various kinds of societies. The author also
puts forward and tests a new theoretical treatment to isolate and
to explain the conditions and causes of the transition from high to
low fertility rates within and among different societies. Two
aspects of this new theory are the interacting effects of living
standards and the constraints of time, and the economic and social
factors that in turn are behind these. Among the other factors that
are considered are the effects and roles of education, the
availability of food, child care, the extent of the female labour
force, health and infant mortality, family type, and cultural and
social norms and expectations.
