title: [Economic approaches to fertility:  a comparative analysis of the New Home Economics and Easterlin theories].
abstract: "The purpose of this paper is to provide a comparative analysis of the New Home Economics and Easterlin theories of fertility, within a critical context.  It is emphasized that in spite of similarities between the two theories, each makes distinct contributions:  while one stresses the cost of children as a determinant of fertility, the other stresses the importance of material aspirations through the relative income concept."
