abstract: "This study examines the determinants of the desire for additional children for currently married women in Pakistan, drawing data from the Population, Labour Force and Migration (PLM) Survey of 1979-80.  The variations in the patterns of desired fertility and their relationship to...factors of economic and social change--such as education, husband's occupation, household income, child education, and work--are also analyzed. The analysis is conducted using logit regression models."  Consideration is given to differences between rural and urban women.
