Sex of children and ultimate family size by time and class
Data from this study and five earlier studies are analyzed to determine the magnitude and significance of the influence of sex combinations of prior children upon the ultimate (or completed) number of children in the family. In addition to confirming the observation of earlier investigators that the influence of combinations of sexes in the first two children differs by geographic area, it is shown that a difference has occurred in a single regio…

Heterogeneity of childless families
Differential reproduction
The correlations among IQ test score, educational attainment rating, socioeconomic status, total number of children in the family of origin, total number of offspring in completed families, and mean age at birth of live‐born children are examined for a representative sample of the Minnesota white population. Natural selection appears to be favoring an increase in the mean IQ score in the sample, or at least there is no evidence for a decrease. Th…
Achievement and social mobility
Cyril Burt (1961) has set forth the following hypothesis with regard to social mobility (or “social promotion”): . . . in a highly organized society, the discrepancies between the general intelligence of the children and the occupational class into which they are born is bound to produce a large and fairly constant amount of “basic mobility,” quite apart from any deliberate changes in the political or educational structure of the society
