Social aspects of fertility : with special reference to developing countries 

 - New Delhi  Vikas Pub.  1982 
 - 220 p. 
<br/><br/> This book is essentially an attempt to understand the social determinants of fertility in developing countries in general, and Asia and Africa in particular.<br/>The author examines in depth the dynamics of the relationship between fertility and several socio economic variables: the economic value of children; son preference; family structure; female status; ethnic plurality, and infant mortality at both the individual and societal levels.<br/>While various popularly-held myths are exploded in the process, attention is focussed on probable policies that might affect these determinants in a direction favourable to a decline in fertility, and on understanding the linkages between fertility, these determinants and the efficacy of policies adopted.
