Total fertility rates from 1920 to 1940 and nuptial fertility rates for 1930 are presented, by nativity and color, for five socio-economic groups in Chicago. The so-called "postwar" developments in earlier age at marriage and in the convergence of socio-economic differentials in fertility apparently began almost two decades ago when the upswing in births first began. In the context of other studies, the findings also indirectly suggest that fluctuations in total fertility and nuptial fertility followed different patterns during the depression and that marraige rates probably decreased relatived more among low-than among high-status groups
