Community characteristics, women's education, and fertility in Peru.

Abstract:

:Using data from the World Fertility Survey of 1977-78, this paper examines how community characteristics influence completed fertility in Peru. The analysis shows that community characteristics do not condition (interact with) the effects of mother's education in determining completed fertility. Rather, the effects of community characteristics are best described by a threshold model, which posits that below or above critical cut points, the effects on fertility of community (or individual) characteristics will diminish or increase. Empirical results showed that residence in communities with higher levels of access to the benefits of development decreased completed fertility beyond what one would have predicted on the basis of women's characteristics alone, and this effect was further amplified with increasing levels of development.
