Using panel data, an attempt is made to unravel connections between women's employment and fertility control. The point is made that these are both ongoing processes which over time intersect in various ways, and which also mutually reinforce each other. In particular, the correlation between work/nonwork and family size is seen to be less illuminating and significant than links between work-consistency and fertility control patterns which enhance that consistency. An attempt is made to place these substantive matters in a more general and cross-disciplinary theoretical perspective.
