Abstract: This paper investigates the determinants of fertility in Honduras, using data from the period 1991-2022. Equations are estimated to identify the role of variables from the real, monetary, and labor sectors on fertility. The results show that fertility is mainly determined by female unemployment rates, salaried employment rates, and self-employment rates, with investment and exports also playing a role. A result of particular interest is the role of the economic dynamism of other Central American countries on Honduran fertility, which highlights the existence of a regional fertility “network”.
