As discussed in this paper, fertility behaviour is determined by various factors such as ethnicity, education, income and other variables. In Singapore, ethnicity is found to be the most significant factor affecting all the four fertility-related measures, namely, the number of children ever born, desired family size, wife's age at first marriage, and current contraceptive use.
