Mortality perceptions in the context of the Trivers-Willard hypothesis
Life Course Timing of Mortality Exposure and Fertility Behavior
Mortality and fertility are important, intricately linked drivers of population change. Although past demographic research has focused largely on population-level mortality rates, individual-level mortality experiences can also shape fertility. The timing of mortality exposure over the life course might distinctly shape individual-level fertility behavior, with some time periods being more sensitive than others. Using detailed data from a sample …

Why do women have more children than they want? Understanding differences in women's ideal and actual family size in a natural fertility population
OBJECTIVES: We develop and test a conceptual model of factors influencing women's ideal family size (IFS) in a natural fertility population, the Tsimane of Bolivia.

We test three hypotheses for why women may exceed their IFS despite experiencing socioeconomic development: (H(1) ) limited autonomy; (H(2) ) improved maternal condition; and (H(3) ) low…
