A note on the fertility-income relationship and childcare outside home

Author

  • Aso, Hiroki

Abstract

This study constructs an overlapping generations model with Stone-Geary preferences and child care outside home. When income is sufficiently large, individuals can afford to have more children due to childcare services outside home. As a result, we demonstrate the demographic transition; thereafter fertility rebound and eventually decreasing fertility.
