Impact of sibling size on contemporary eligible couples' family size norm.
"A number of earlier studies have established the positive correlation that has been found between the number of children born to a family and the number of children in the husband's and wife's family. The main aim of the present study is to see whether this relationship holds true in the case of families in Trivandrum district [India]. It is also the objective of this study to verify the variations in this relationship between the first born and later born children."
