"This is a tour de force in cohort fertility analysis, a deep and powerful piece of work. It is a striking demonstration of the force of really detailed empirical analysis of excellent and comprehensive data, with the data looked at from every angle and judiciously extrapolated into the future. It represents a major contribution to our understanding of contemporary low fertility in Europe and other developed nations..." Thomas K. Burch, University of Victoria, BC, Canada

From the reviews of the first edition: "This is a tour de force in cohort fertility analysis, a deep and powerful piece of work. It is a striking demonstration of the force of really detailed empirical analysis of excellent and comprehensive data, with the data looked at from every angle and judiciously extrapolated into the future. It represents a major contribution to our understanding of contemporary low fertility in Europe and other developed nations - arguably one of the most important demographic phenomena of our times, and one whose scope and implications are not yet fully appreciated. No one could fail to appreciate these after a careful look at this study." Thomas K. Burch, University of Victoria, BC, Canada "The principal conclusion of this book is that cohort fertility throughout Europe as well as in Japan and the four overseas countries of predominantly European settlement is almost certain to remain low ... . The conclusions of the study are backed up by reference to the wide range of social, economic and cultural conditions that affect reproductive behaviour. ... The book is an important contribution to the discussion of the causes and consequences of low fertility." (Lado T. Ruzicka, Journal of Population Research, Vol. 22 (1), 2005) "This analytical study is an outcome of a long and productive collaboration of the authors ... aimed at documenting fertility changes in advanced societies. ... The text is complemented by rich documentation in the form of uniformly designed figures, tables, and appendices. ... The evaluation in the shifts in the age pattern of childbearing is particularly valuable. ... Frejka and Sardon have assembled a comprehensive and carefully presented study on cohort fertility that will become an invaluable source of information." (Tomas Sobotka, European Journal of Population, Vol. 22 (1), 2006)
