title: Patterns of American Jewish fertility.
abstract: The 1971 National Jewish Population Survey provides cross-sectional data on achieved fertility, detailed birth histories, and other information on family formation for a countrywide representative sample of 5,303 ever-married women. Cohort analysis shows that-although at lower levels-Jewish fertility has followed the general trends of American population.
