Fundamental changes in family structure have had important consequences on the demographic characteristics of Europe's population, and in particular, on fertility. This book presents a theoretical analysis of the relationship between family structure and fertility rates; as well providing a detailed empirical study of trends since 1970 for European countries for which data are available.
