Abstract
This chapter concludes findings of the book. In addition, the chapter discusses the implications of the research from the perspectives of theory construction and fertility policy making. The chapter also addresses the issue of underreporting births by younger men in the NSFG Cycle 6 dataset and how the issue influences the results of this research. In the end, the chapter points out a few prospects for future analysis on male fertility.
