从英国生育率下降的最初阶段开始，平均家庭规模的下降伴随着没有孩子或只生一个孩子的已婚妇女比例的显著上升。本文总结了这些变化，它们对平均家庭规模的影响，以及对在结婚初期试图让孩子分开的夫妇比例的估计的影响。然后，在高度限制生育的家庭数量增加的背景下，考虑对婚姻生育率普遍下降的一些常被引用的解释的解释力。该文件强调需要更多地强调对人口内部分布敏感的描述性和分析性方法。还强调了发展解释的重要性，考虑到不同因素可能在不同时间点对家庭的不同子集起作用。
From the earliest stages of the British fertility decline, falling mean family size was accompanied by marked rises in the proportion of married women who remained childless or who bore only a single child. This paper summarises those changes, their impact on average family size, and the implications for estimates of the proportions of couples who attempted to space their children in the early years of marriage. The explanatory power of some commonly cited interpretations of the general decline in marital fertility is then considered in the context of this growth in number of families of highly restricted fertility. The paper highlights a need for more emphasis on descriptive and analytical approaches that are sensitive to distributions within populations. Also emphasized is the importance of developing interpretations that allow for the possibility that different factors may operate on different sub-sets of families at different points in time.
