Zusammenfassung:Data from a 1982 sample survey of 3,820 married woman below age 50 in a Beijing district are applied to the Bongaarts model of the proximate determinants of fertility. A total fertility rate (TFR) of 0.75 births per woman is estimated from the model compared with a TFR of 1.24 observed from the survey. Comparative data from other countries confirm that the study area has very low levels of fertility and marriage, a very high prevalence of induced abortion, and a small effect of lactational infecundability. The extremely low level of fertility was achieved through a high level of induced abortion.
