title: Attitudes towards fertility control.
abstract: "The present work aims to determine...the effectiveness of traditional mixed and modern attitudes towards fertility.  Here fertility refers to the number of children actually born to a woman. Randomly chosen 400 women belonging to different ethnic strains from Sagar town [India] constitute the data for the present study.  The scaling technique is devised to obtain accurate values for fertility noticed among different populations. Thus an attempt has been made to study whether education, income, caste, age and age at marriage have direct association with fertility."
