Freedman, Ronald, J.Y. Takeshita, and Te Hsiung Sun. 1964. "Fertility and Family Planning in Taiwan: A Case Study of the Demographic Transition." American Journal of Sociology, 70(1): 16-27.

There is evidence that efforts are being made to reduce fertility by couples in the latter half of the child-bearing period when they have the moderate number of children and sons most of them want. The extent of such family-limitation efforts, the number of children wanted, and the number of children born are shown to be related to a number of modernization indexes.
