Abstract | The goals of the Caltech Population Program are to increase understanding of the interrelationships between population growth and socioeconomic and cultural patterns throughout the world and to communicate this understanding. This series of occasional papers is one step in the process of communicating research results. The papers deal primarily with problems of population growth and the interaction of population change with such variables as resources, food supply, environment, urbanization, employment, economic development, and social and cultural values. Paper Number 1 looks at the deterministic and technicists points of view as they attempt to explain changes in fertility rates. Specific examples of birth rates in Bulgaria, Portugal, and Korea are given. It is contended that the theory of demographic transition (the theory that fertility rates will fall if and only if certain requisite economic and social developments take place) is inadequate to explain these facts.
