The quantity and quality of children, labor supply and wages of married women in postwar Japan.
"The purpose of this paper is...to build a simultaneous estimation model of fertility, child quality, wife's labor supply and female wage, and to test the applicability of this model using time-series data from postwar Japan."  The results imply "that fertility and employment have generally been [an] alternative behavior for... Japanese women; that their behavioral choice has depended on economic conditions; and that the quantity and quality of children have been substitutes." (SUMMARY IN JPN)
