Residence Exposure and Fertility Expectations of Young Mormon and Non-Mormon Women in Utah.

Toney, Michael B.; And Others

Journal of Marriage and the Family, v47 n2 p459-65 May 1985

Compared fertility expectations of young non-Mormon females living in Utah (2.4 children) with those of young Mormon females in Utah (4.4 children). Findings suggest that residence in a high fertility area per se does not affect fertility and that Mormon/non-Mormon fertility differences are likely to persist into the foreseeable future. (BH)
