Scholars have charged population growth with lowering aggregate income per capita, depleting natural resources, reducing the quality of the environment, and causing more unequal distribution of income. Maintaining that the order of these concerns should be reversed, Peter H. Lindert emphasizes the tendency of higher fertility and population growth to heighten economic inequalities. His analysis also improves our knowledge of the ways in which economic developments affect fertility. The author develops an integrated model of fertility behavior featuring an original way of defining and measuring the relative cost of an extra child. U.S. fertility patterns in the twentieth century, he shows, are partially explained by the interplay of a model of intergenerational taste formation and fluctuation in relative child costs. His reinterpretation of patterns in the inequality of schooling and income in America highlights the role of fertility and other demographic forces. From the author's analysis it appears that concern over rapid population growth is more justified on income-distribution grounds than on grounds of effects on average per capita income. In showing that this is so, Professor Lindert describes how families' use of time has changed since the late nineteenth century. Originally published in 1978. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Download An Economic Analysis of Quantity-quality Substitution in Household Fertility Decisions Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The objectives of the study are twofold. The first is the development of a general economic framework in which the number of children families have can be analyzed. This framework abstracts from questions of why families desire children (i.e., whether as consumption of investment goods or both) and concentrates on the 'production' of children. The emphasis is on the substitution of child quality for quantity, and on determining the elements in the production functions for quantity and quality. Education receives special attention since (1) it is an input into child quality, and (2) it affects the efficiency with which children are produced. The second objective involves the exploration of a body of demographic data. It should be kept in mind that while the basic model has complete generality, some of the specific assumptions and equations are formulated in the context of a developing nation, and therefore might not appear reasonable for, e.g., the United States.
