Since the 1950s, fertility has fallen in each of Malaysia's three main ethnic groups — Malays, Chinese, and Indians. This report discusses some of the factors that contributed to these fertility trends and differentials.

Recent cross-sectional labor supply studies have yielded a wide range of parameter estimates; they have therefore been of little use to policymakers attempting to evaluate welfare reform proposals.

A study of the individual reproductive histories of 4204 at-least-once-married women (2079 rural and 1225 urban) living in about 3000 households in central East Pakistan in 1961-62. Data are from a demographic survey by the University of Dacca, sponsored by the Population Council of New York. Although retrospective studies are generally considered unreliable, the analytical results of the study seem reasonable.

Some policies, such as relocation assistance grants, are designed to influence migration directly by helping people move to available jobs. Others, such as income maintenance program (IMP), may not be designed to affect migration, but may inadverten...
