Abstract
Recent attempts at a sociological explanation of various aspects of fertility in industrial societies have, with two partial exceptions, failed, and for three reasons: they have placed too great a reliance on survey methods, they have ignored the causal importance of people's intentions, and they have eschewed theory. Recent developments in population theory, stressing the idea of self-regulation, can provide a sociological model with which some progress appears to be possible, although there are technical difficulties.
