| Abstract: | New sources of data on national fertility declines are used to examine the nature of fertility transition in major regions.
These regions are defined by geographical and cultural criteria as well as by the forces attempting to shape fertility control.
Particular attention is devoted to the timing of the onsets of fertility decline in the different countries of each region,
and the rapidity of fertility decline within each country. The study finds greater similarities between the transitions than
have sometimes been assumed. |
