For Research into Fertility

The Rockefeller Foundation has announced a research program on women's status and fertility. Under this program, the foundation supports research on the interrelations between fertility and women's status and roles in developing countries. The objective is to improve understanding of how women's status in relation to men's varies across socioeconomic contexts and relates to family size and fertility issues.
