This paper examines the demand and supply factors that effect how many children a couple
will have. It estimates the wage over working women to use as the potential wage for all
women to avoid missing data and wage endogeneity problems. It estimates the total number
and probability of having a certain number of children using a range of variables capturing
preferences and demand and supply economic variables and other variables. OLS, Poisson,
multinomial Logit, and Sequential Logit are used to examine which factors are significant in
effecting fertility choices.
