"The economic theory of population growth applies the opportunity cost approach to the fertility decision. Variations and differentials in fertility are caused by the available resources and relative prices or by the relative production costs of child services. Pure changes in real income raise the demand for children or the total amount spent on children. If relative prices or production costs and real income are affected together the effect on fertility requires separate consideration." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
人口增长的经济理论将机会成本方法应用于生育决策。生育率的变化和差异是由可用资源、相对价格或儿童服务的相对生产成本引起的。实际收入的纯粹变化会增加对孩子的需求或在孩子身上的总支出。如果相对价格或生产成本与实际收入同时受到影响,那么对生育率的影响需要单独考虑。 (英文摘要)
