Based on empirical studies from six nations – France,
Scandinavia, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Germany and Italy
(representing the high and low end of European variation in

fertility rationales. It will be of interest to students and
scholars of sociology, anthropology, demography and gender
studies.
