Dynamics of Values in Fertility Change

The move from large extended families towards the nuclear family already prevalent in the West is one of the most notable demographic trends of the 20th Century. In exploring this "fertility transition" this volume investigates and explains the impact that changing cultural and moral beliefs have had on fertility practice. The contributors create a global picture through a wide variety of theoretical approaches combined with highly focused empirical studies.
