Includes bibliographical references (leaves 36-38). This paper explores the different measures and methods used to integrate socio-economic status into fertility analysis. The most common current practice is to create a single proxy summary measure and enter it as an independent variable in a multiple regression. I compare the consequences of using the different proxies on the estimated impact of socio-economic status and the other determinants of fertility. 2014-07-31T12:23:26Z 2014-07-31T12:23:26Z 2009 Master Thesis Masters MBusSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/5727 eng application/pdf School of Economics Faculty of Commerce University of Cape Town |
