Abstract

Fertility rates are dropping faster than expected, with far-reaching implications and this is an issue of obvious importance for future projections around the provision of services such as schooling and social security grants for children. For this reason it is important that the relevant communities of practitioners and researchers scrutinise and debate emerging trends in fertility.
