High fertility in Africa has not only fuelled rapid population growth, but has placed a huge burden of domestic work on African women. This book is a detailed study of the causes and consequences of fertility patterns on coastal Tanzania. Combining demography, history and sociology, it also offers a new methodological framework for the understanding of reproductive change.
