The initial specification of the research problem posed here is that current approaches to the measurement of women's status obscure the true nature of its relationship to fertility. General theories of gender stratification provide three bases for improving the measurement of women's status which were applied in this study. The first is that men and women should be compared within socioeconomic settings rather than across them to avoid confusing general stratification with gender stratification systems. The second implication is that men and women need to be compared in the meaningful institutions which define gender inequality. Finally, stratification research suggests that the indicators of institutional sources of inequality need to be distinguished from comparative measures of inequality in outcomes.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The initial specification of the research problem posed here is that current approaches to the measurement of women's status obscure the true nature of its relationship to fertility. General theories of gender stratification provide three bases for improving the measurement of women's status which were applied in this study. The first is that men and women should be compared within socioeconomic settings rather than across them to avoid confusing general stratification with gender stratification systems. The second implication is that men and women need to be compared in the meaningful institutions which define gender inequality. Finally, stratification research suggests that the indicators of institutional sources of inequality need to be distinguished from comparative measures of inequality in outcomes.
520 $a In this study, data from three sets of surveys conducted in Taiwan during the 1980's were used to address these issues. Data from individuals, couples, and townships were linked together in two sets of analyses. Measurement analysis demonstrated for separate samples of measures comparing men and women in townships and comparisons between husbands and wives that distinct dimensions of women's status do not emerge in a consistent manner. The second step in the analysis was to integrate measures of inequality into an analysis of fertility. Measures of inequality and structural sources of inequality were used, along with individual level determinants to explain variation in children ever born, ideal family size, desired family size and son preference. Women's status, regardless of the level of measurement and the relative comparison had little additional explanatory power.
520 $a The results of this study suggest that women's status may, contrary to theoretical expectations, be unrelated to fertility behavior. Several alternative explanations are also possible for this particular study. Taiwan shows little geographic variation in many socioeconomic characteristics and, thus, may be a poor sample for this type of analysis. In addition, structural measures of women's status may not be appropriate to a fertility analysis. Nevertheless, the results of this study suggest that once close attention is paid to the empirical measures of women's status that the theoretical link to fertility must be re-examined.
