摘要：

In spite of close to a quarter century of research and policy interest in the quite uniquely universal negative relation between female education and fertility, the mechanisms behind this relation continue to intrigue and to fascinate. This paper tries to review critically some of the more common mechanisms suggested by the literature and offers a new look at some alternative possibilities.
