Abstract
We develop an empirical model of the interaction of rural
fertility and rural urban migration which incorporates the effects of
landholding patterns. Cross section data for 26 developing countries are
used to test the model. The statistical results support the hypothesis
of a positive relationship between fertility and out-migration in the
rural sector and lend credence to some of the propositions regarding the
impact of landholding patterns. A reduced form of the model is derived
from the statistical results, and its policy implications are
considered.
