This project supports the dissertation research of an anthropology student from the City University of New York. The student will investigate the rapid fertility decline which took place in Guadeloupe between 1960 and 1982, which appeared to signify that France had successfully stemmed population growth in this overseas department. The demographic literature correlated low fertility with `modernization` and a `European` type of family, inferring that assimilated Guadeloupeans have moved away from displaying traits associated with a `Caribbean` family model. However, between 1962 and 1982 a changing opportunity structure, particularly government sponsored labor migration, may have played a role. The hypothesis to be tested posits that low fertility is not associated primarily with a `European` family model, but can be found among women who are situated in a variety of family forms. The hypothesis will be tested using extensive life history and structured interview data from a sample of 40 Guadeloupean women from diverse socio-economic backgrounds. This research is important because it will advance the theory of fertility declines in developing countries, by testing the effects of labor migration, and by fitting the general theory to this particular case. In addition the project will advance our scientific capacity by training a graduate student in demographic anthropology, and will also advance our nation's expertise about this important region of the world. %¥┐╝/% ║Á╝¢║Á│¥╣└Á ¥©╝?┐À© ¥©Á╣╝ ┴?╝, ╣ ¥©Á Â?╝Á╣À %/▓?╝/¥?╝` 0 ─ ­

这个项目支持一位来自纽约城市大学人类学学生的论文研究。 学生将调查1960年至1982年期间发生在瓜德罗普的快速生育率下降，这似乎表明法国成功地阻止了这个海外省的人口增长。 人口统计学文献将低生育率与“现代化”和“欧洲”类型的家庭联系起来，推断被同化的瓜德罗普岛已经不再显示与“加勒比”家庭模式有关的特征。 然而，在1962年至1982年之间，不断变化的机会结构，特别是政府资助的劳动力迁移，可能发挥了作用。 有待检验的假设认为，低生育率主要与“欧洲”家庭模式无关，但在处于各种家庭形式的妇女中可以发现这种情况。 将使用来自不同社会经济背景的40名瓜德罗普妇女的广泛生活史和结构化访谈数据来检验这一假设。 这项研究很重要，因为它将通过检验劳动力迁移的影响，并通过将一般理论与这一特殊情况相适应，推进发展中国家生育率下降的理论。 此外，该项目将通过培训一名人口人类学研究生来提高我们的科学能力，并将提高我国对世界这一重要地区的专门知识。 %¥/% ¥ | ¥ 你好那你呢？你好，我是说你知道吗？/¥？` 0 ─
