title: [Models of economic theory of population growth].
abstract: "The economic theory of population growth applies the opportunity cost approach to the fertility decision.  Variations and differentials in fertility are caused by the available resources and relative prices or by the relative production costs of child services.  Pure changes in real income raise the demand for children or the total amount spent on children.  If relative prices or production costs and real income are affected together the effect on fertility requires separate consideration." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
