Abstract
Turkish census and survey data reveal extensive variation in fertility at both the household and the community level. This chapter attempts both a theoretical and empirical accounting for these variations. Reconciling household- and community-level variation in fertility is one of the important unfinished tasks for social scientists and demographers, and the situation in Turkey represents an ideal setting for a preliminary examination of some of the major issues involved in this research agenda. The theoretical framework used in the chapter is eclectic.
