|July 1, 1985
Summary
The population transition, a key demographic shift, is a predictable pattern in national population growth over 200 years. This study links fertility decline to increased child supply and young adult income, following mortality decline.
Area of Science:
- Demography
- Population Studies
- Sociology
Context:
- The population transition, a significant demographic shift, has been extensively debated.
- Understanding the drivers of fertility decline is crucial for population dynamics.
Purpose:
- To reexamine the theories and facts of the population transition.
- To propose the transition as a governing regularity for national population growth.
- To offer a supply-dominant resolution for fertility decline dynamics.
Summary:
- The population transition is presented as a regularity in population growth over the past two centuries.
- Mortality decline consistently precedes fertility decline.
- Fertility decline is linked to a subjective increase in child supply and relative income of young adults.
Impact:
- Provides a novel framework for understanding population dynamics.
- Offers insights into the socioeconomic factors influencing fertility rates.
- Highlights the interconnectedness of mortality, age structure, and fertility decline.
