Abstract:
The analytical framework of this study focuses on several conceptual variables for which empirical counterparts are not readily available the death of children the economic resources of the family that grow out of the efforts of husband, wife, and child, each of whose contribution affects differently the relative attractiveness of children the educational system that has a direct bearing on the cost of rearing children, influences the achievement goals parents set for their offspring, and may also explain differential access to modern methods of birth control and finally, the web of social and public policies that shape the function of the family and the role of children therein, altering the costs and benefits of rearing a large or small number of children.
