Studies on the relationship between family structure and fertility have often come up with inconsistent findings mainly due to the inadequacy in specifying the model and poor measurement. This study addresses these problems by emphasizing the temporal correspondence among the variables. As much of the effect of the family structure on fertility is mediated by age at marriage, the latter is also included in the analysis. Basing on the principle of temporal correspondence, the model is tested under two specific conditions: the early post-nuptial period for women aged 21 to 45 and cumulative experience for women aged 35 to 45. Data from the 1967 and 1972 "Knowledge, Attitude and Practice of Family Planning" (KAP) surveys of Hong Kong are used in this study.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a Studies on the relationship between family structure and fertility have often come up with inconsistent findings mainly due to the inadequacy in specifying the model and poor measurement. This study addresses these problems by emphasizing the temporal correspondence among the variables. As much of the effect of the family structure on fertility is mediated by age at marriage, the latter is also included in the analysis. Basing on the principle of temporal correspondence, the model is tested under two specific conditions: the early post-nuptial period for women aged 21 to 45 and cumulative experience for women aged 35 to 45. Data from the 1967 and 1972 "Knowledge, Attitude and Practice of Family Planning" (KAP) surveys of Hong Kong are used in this study.
520 $a The findings generally support the Lorimer-Davis thesis that an extended family facilitates a faster tempo and a higher quantity of fertility. Women who lived in extended households had a faster pace of early fertility, and had higher cumulative fertility than women in nuclear residence. Age at marriage played an important role in mediating the pronatal effect of the extended family.
520 $a There was a trend towards a decreasing effect of coresidence on the tempo of early fertility across birth cohorts. Family structure, which was influenced much by social norms, gave way to education, an achieved variable representing individual achievement, in affecting fertility in the course of modernization.
520 $a The results also indicate that there was a rapid decline in arranged marriage in Hong Kong across birth cohorts. This started the breakdown of the extended family system which used marriage as a means to safeguard against the early division of the household. Young people began to make their own decisions concerning marriage as well as the location of their residence after marriage. Therefore, the causal order between coresidence and age at marriage could be reversed with age at marriage becoming a determinant of coresidence. This calls for a re-conceptualization of the model studying the relationships among coresidence, age at marriage and fertility.
