Abstract: Abstract Biological factors in the age pattern of fecundity and cultural universals in the age pattern of fertility control result in uniformities in schedules of age-specific marital fertility across diverse human populations. Yet the fertility of married women at a given age depends not only upon age but also upon the previous experience of the cohort (cohort effect) and the social and economic conditions of the time (period effect).
