| Tiivistelmä: | Three complementary approaches are systemically related to each other in order to deal with incomplete explanations of cross-cultural differences in fertility behaviour. Approaches are the 'demand'-based economic theory of fertility (ETF), a revised version of the 'supply'-based 'value-of-children'-approach (VOC) as a particular theory of the general social theory of social production functions, and the framing theory of variable rationality. This paper specify a comprehensive model from these approaches, which is tested with data set containing information on VOC and fertility of women within 10 societies. This simultaneous test in cross-cultural context provides evidence about the validity of the model, systematic effects of VOC on fertility, and changing rationality of fertility decisions in the demographic transition. |
