Effect of infant mortality on subsequent fertility in pakistan and Sri Lanka
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 July 2008
Summary
The relation between infant mortality and fertility is studied using data from the 1975 fertility surveys in Pakistan and Sri Lanka. It is found that the unadjusted data support child replacement, but that this is much less the case once controls are introduced for demographic and socioeconomic factors. Replacement is slightly more pronounced when there are fewer surviving male children.
