Abstract: The economic growth and improvements in living conditions enjoyed by Europe and North America over the last two centuries are now spreading across the planet, accompanied by a steady decline in the average family size. Does this mean that a country's fertility decreases as its level of development increases? Things are not so simple, as fertility is rising again in many highly developed countries. Angela Luci and Olivier Thévenon explain why.
