Abstract
This is the sixth in a series of monographs which present results derived from the data collected in the 1980 National Population Census [for Papua New Guinea]. Earlier reports have dealt with urban boundary changes, urban spatial distribution, internal migration, mortality, and urbanization and urban migration; the present document is concerned with fertility. Attention is given to changes in fertility between 1966 and 1980, including lifetime fertility, current fertility, and various fertility estimates. Fertility patterns and differentials are also discussed. (EXCERPT)
