从1871年至1950年西班牙阿兰胡埃斯镇拍摄的一组相关的生殖历史被用来解决人口转型期间有关生殖变化的关键问题。这些问题包括儿童生存作为促进生殖变化的因素的作用，使用停止和（或）间隔战略来实现生殖目标，以及改变的时机。使用了简单的人口统计方法并获得了可靠的结果。限制生育的初步战略是存在的，但效率低下，主要是在生育期的后期才显现出来，主要是为了保护家庭免受儿童存活率增加的影响，而且几乎完全是以停止行为为基础的。随着死亡率的加速下降，策略变得更加有效，在婚姻生活开始时就可以看到，包括间隔行为，并最终导致完整家庭规模的重要下降。这项研究的结果对我们理解历史上欧洲和世界其他地区的人口转型具有重要意义。Copyright 2007人口委员会，Inc.。
A set of linked reproductive histories taken from the Spanish town of Aranjuez between 1871 and 1950 is used to address key issues regarding reproductive change during the demographic transition. These include the role of child survival as a stimulus for reproductive change, the use of stopping and/or spacing strategies to achieve reproductive goals, and the timing of change. Straightforward demographic measures are used and robust results are achieved. Initial strategies of fertility limitation are shown to exist but are inefficient, are mostly visible during the latter part of the reproductive period, are designed mostly to protect families from the effects of increases in child survival, and are based almost entirely on stopping behavior. As mortality decline accelerates, strategies become much more efficient, are visible at the outset of married life, include spacing behavior, and eventually lead to important declines in completed family size. The results of this study have implications for our understanding of the demographic transition both in historical Europe and in other regions of the world.
