ISSN/ISBN: 0016-6987 PMID: 12267536 Document Number: 234375
The author critically examines recent studies that have cited various changes in women's status in developed countries as the cause of changes in the number of children desired. It is suggested that "the number has decreased as a consequence of the social pressures tending to limit the total fertility of women so as to be compatible with the new behaviour patterns of an industrialized society."
