Statistical Analysis of Fertility through Simultaneous Equations Model

The study although limited in scope, clearly points to the need for improving the fertility determinants, all of which will result in the reduction of fertility after improvement. An attempt has been made by postulating the four equations dynamic model, also called as Simultaneous equations model, for explaining the fertility pattern in Haryana. This model consists of Fertility Equation, Female Participation Equation, Income Equation and Education Equation. It has been found that infant mortality rate, female literacy rate, female work participation rate has statistically high significant effect on fertility.
