Intended Fertility and Birth Behavior (in Japanese)

Economic Analysis, 2009, vol. 181, 3-21

Abstract: This paper has three purposes. First, in using Butz and Ward model for the analysis, unlike the previous researches, we focus on birth intention. Specifically, we aim to investigate the relationship between the household's incomes and/or women's personal income and the behavior of giving birth of the women who have intention to have children. Second, we examine the effects of social and economic factors on birth intention. Finally, we consider the factors causing the gap between the intended number of children (intended number of births) and actual number of children.
