Abstract

Numerous studies in the development economics literature examine the connection between fertility and economic development. The consensus in the research is that as a nation develops and incomes rise, fertility rates decline. However, economic freedom and policies aimed at generating economic opportunities for women may also affect fertility rates. This article utilizes the Economic Freedom of the World Index, and the associated Gender Disparity Index to discuss how economic freedom and, specifically, economic freedom for women is related to fertility, and other fertility‐related outcomes.

妇女的经济自由和生育率

发展经济学文献中有许多研究探讨了生育率与经济发展之间的联系。研究的共识是，随着国家的发展和收入的增加，生育率会下降。然而，旨在为妇女创造经济机会的经济自由和政策也可能影响生育率。本文利用世界经济自由度指数（Economic Freedom of the World Index）和相关的性别差距指数（Gender Disparity Index）来讨论经济自由度，特别是妇女的经济自由度与生育率以及其他与生育率相关的结果之间的关系。
