Having & raising children).  Modernization  fertility control, e.g: modern condom and improved methods of induced abortion, pill and IUD.  Modernization process shifts typical household from a situation where childbearing is a matter ‘taken for granted’ to one that poses difficult problems of individual choice regarding the limitation of family size.  Modernization shifts motivation of individual couples and regulation costs push them to practice deliberate family size limitation.
