The Changing Balance of Births and Deaths: A Comment,

Abstract

This simple model predicts declines in age-specific fertility which are very similar to those now occurring in the more rapidly developing countires such as Taiwan. This interpretation of the 'changing balance of births and deaths' does not treat births and deaths as independent of one another, nor does it imply that income or urbanization are particularly useful indices for the social and economic systems that determine desired fertility.
