Fertility decline in the United States, 1850-1930: New Evidence from Complete-Count Datasets.
Between 1835 and 1935, total fertility in the United States fell from 7.0 to 2.1. New IPUMS complete-count microdata databases of the 1850, 1880, 1910, and 1930 U. S. censuses allow us to study the fertility decline in more detail than previously possible. We construct comprehensive models of couples' fertility incorporating a wide variety of economic, social, cultural and familial factors, including measures of parental religiosity and kin availability outside of the household. The results indicate that while shifts in the occupational structure and increasing urbanization of the population provide the most consistent and substantive contribution to fertility decline over the period, cultural and religious attitudes - as proxied by parents' nativities and child naming practices - played a major role in couples' childbearing decisions.

Fondées en 1964 par la Société de Démographie Historique, les Annales de démographie historique, seule revue francophone du domaine, publient des recherches internationales en français et en anglais sur l"histoire, ou plutôt les histoires, de la population et de la famille telles qu"elles se présentent aujourd’hui : des travaux soucieux de leurs méthodes et de leurs catégories da"nalyse, des approches largement ouvertes sur l"histoire sociale et l"histoire de la santé, attentives aux apports de l’anthropologie comme de l"économie. Les Annales de démographie historique sont publiées avec le soutien du CNRS.
