Mother's Education and Effect of Son Preference on Fertility in Matlab, Bangladesh.
Chowdhury, Mridul, K.
Population Research and Policy Review, v13 n3 p257-73 Sep 1994
Follows earlier research that hypothesized and substantiated that, in a society with strong son preference, its effect on fertility would be conditional on the level of contraceptive use. Finds that, if a preference for smaller family size increases, then sex preference will have minimal effect on fertility. (LZ)
