This paper tries to take into account the sequential element in fertility decisions and continues an investigation originally begun by Namboodiri. We examine the extent to which the "desire to have additional children" can be explained by a variety of economic, sociological, and demographic variables. The probit maximum likelihood estimation procedure is utilized, and the analysis is based on cross-sectional data on 2,910 currently married women obtained from a national survey conducted in Pakistan in 1968-1969. The principal finding is the presence of a strong son preference both for the husband and for the wife.
本文试图考虑生育决策中的顺序因素，并延续南布迪里最初开始的一项研究。我们考察了“想要更多孩子的愿望”在多大程度上可以由各种经济、社会学和人口统计学变量来解释。我们采用了概率单位最大似然估计程序，分析基于1968 - 1969年在巴基斯坦进行的一项全国性调查所获得的2910名已婚妇女的横截面数据。主要发现是丈夫和妻子都存在强烈的重男轻女倾向。
