New Research Sheds Light on the US Shift toward Smaller Families
The national fertility rate has been in steady decline in recent decades, but the fundamental transition from high to low fertility in the United States occurred between the mid-nineteenth century and the 1930s.
New research just out in Demography sheds new light on how fertility decline began in late nineteenth-century America, sparking the historic shift known as the Demographic Transition.
