  • Title: [The search for a law of fertility].
    Author: Damiani P, Masse H.
    Journal: J Soc Stat Paris; 1991; 132(1):47-56. PubMed ID: 12284788.
    Abstract:
    The authors determine a law of fertility using a method applied to a search for a law of mortality, in which they define "a new scale of time based on variations of weight according to age." Data are from annual fertility rates by five-year age group and concern mothers aged 15-49 in France from 1895-1897 to 1981-1983. The authors establish that the law of fertility they find and the law of mortality have the same form. Variations in this law of fertility over time are studied. (SUMMARY IN ENG)
