- Title
Trends in Inter-Birth Intervals in Developing Countries 1965-2014.
- Authors
Casterline, John B.; Odden, Colin
- Abstract
The article talks about contemporary fertility decline in developing countries and the contribution of changes in birth spacing to the decline which has not been broadly researched. Topics discussed include empirical evidence gathered suggesting transitional populations commonly make deliberate efforts to delay the next birth, and exceptions to this generalization which include African reproductive regimes varying from the West and a third form of fertility motivation called postponement.
