Our empirical analyses use data from three waves of the Indian National Family Health Surveys.

We find that this framework can account for a substantial portion of the Cited by: Title: Determinants of Fertility in Developing Countries: Fertility regulation and institutional influences Studies in population Volume 2 of Determinants of Fertility in Developing Countries: Panel on Fertility Determinants, Committee on Population and Demography, Commission on Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education, National Research Council, Ronald Demos Lee.
