Abstract:
"In this article, Willis' micro-economic model of fertility is tested with data obtained from the 1982 Netherlands Fertility Survey of the Netherlands Central Bureau of Statistics." This model enables a prospective as well as a retrospective analysis of fertility and helps analyze the impact of husband's and wife's educational status on fertility. The probability of couples having three or more children is shown to be higher when both partners have had only a primary education or when both have had a university-level education.
