Causal Relationships between Infant Mortality and Fertility in Developed and Less Developed Countries

Abstract

Countries ABS TRACTThis paper is a study of the dynamic relationships between two demographic variables--the infant mortality rate and the fertility rate--uSing time series methodology.i believe that I have Ehown that infant mortality and fertility are not independent but rather are jointly determined.Also, i believe that I have shown that a decline in infant mortality that is due to an increase in per capita real income triggers a subsequent decline in fertility.This dynamic nexus between changes in infant mortality and fertility lies at the heart of the so-called "demographic transition."
