title: Recent trends in fertility differentials in Australia.
abstract: "The aim of this paper is not to examine broad trends in Australian fertility but to analyse the extent to which fertility patterns vary from one group to another within Australian society.... In general, differences between groups have been converging as fertility overall has declined."  Aspects considered include aboriginal fertility, immigrant fertility, and fertility by socioeconomic group.
