RUSSIAN REGIONAL SCENARIOS OF FERTILITY RESPONSES TO MODERNIZATION, 1958-1978.
(2011) EKHR01 20101Department of Economic History
- Abstract (Swedish)
- The link “modernization-fertility” is an important object for analysis. Modernization changes
every society economically, culturally, demographically. I analyze the empirical data for two
Russian regions based on Easterlin-Сrimmins theoretical model and make conclusions
concerning the strength of possible modernization-fertility relationship in Russia. I consider
gross fertility to investigate the nature of linkage between crude birth rate, infant mortality,
share of industrial workers in population, net migration and regional differences in fertility
response to modernization. The results show that despite regional differences in the speed and
scope of modernization, different initial starting points and cultural... (More) - The link “modernization-fertility” is an important object for analysis. Modernization changes

response to modernization. The results show that despite regional differences in the speed and
scope of modernization, different initial starting points and cultural background, two regions
have the same scenarios of fertility responses to modernization – the same trajectory of
development. Decline in infant mortality was important for fertility reduction. However,
opposite Easterlin and Crimmins, there is no evidence that high industrialization level
associates with lower gross fertility. (Less)
