Using data from interviews with 973 Taiwanese women of childbearing age (15-44 years), having at least one child and living with husbands, a general theory of human fertility preference is derived and tested. Drawing from socio-structural, social-psychological and economic theories, the proposed theory posits that human fertility preference is a function of the changing socioeconomic and demographic milieu as well as some specific modal characteristics of the individual.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Using data from interviews with 973 Taiwanese women of childbearing age (15-44 years), having at least one child and living with husbands, a general theory of human fertility preference is derived and tested. Drawing from socio-structural, social-psychological and economic theories, the proposed theory posits that human fertility preference is a function of the changing socioeconomic and demographic milieu as well as some specific modal characteristics of the individual.
520 $a First, the interrelationships among selected socioeconomic status and individual modernity variables are examined. Second, the individual's attitudes, her perceptions about the costs associated with childbearing, her knowledge of contraceptives and her ownership of consumer durables are conceptualized as the determinants of her position on the tradition - modernity continuum and also as a direct function of her fertility preference. The overall theory and hypothesis derived therefrom are tested with Joreskog and Sorbom's "Analysis of Linear Structural Relationships by the Method of Maximum Likelihood" (LISREL Versions V and VI).
520 $a The results indicate that while an individual's experiences with structural changes such as improved access to education, rapid urbanization and relative increase in her family income may have some effects on her fertility preference, these experiences produce their greatest impacts through the identified modal characteristics. Of all the structural change variables examined, education appears to have the strongest direct and indirect impacts on individual modernity and fertility preference respectively. Individual modernity has the strongest impact on fertility preference independent of the structural variables. When the individual modernity construct in broken down into its component parts and examined, owernship of consumer durables appears to have the strongest negative effect on fertility preference. Finally, the proportion of variance in the latent endogenous variables that is explained by the proposed model (Total ${\rm R}\sp2$) is 75%.
