Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a revelatory examination of differential fecundity, the variation in childbearing rates among different segments of the population. The author meticulously analyzes data from Iowa counties in 1915, uncovering significant correlations between fecundity and factors such as urbanization, age distribution, and socioeconomic status. Strikingly, the study finds that rural residents and individuals with lower socioeconomic status exhibit higher birth rates, while urban dwellers and those with higher education and income have fewer children. This rural-urban and socioeconomic divide in fertility has profound implications for the composition and future trajectory of the population. The author argues that the observed disparities in fecundity are driven by complex social and economic factors, including poverty, access to education, and cultural norms. The study's findings have far-reaching significance for understanding population trends and the social forces that shape them.
