Project Description
Summary:
View help for Summary
We analyze the link between agricultural
productivity growth and fertility rates, using the oil palm boom in Indonesia as
an empirical setting. We find consistent negative effects of oil palm expansion
on fertility during the period 1996-2016. This finding appears to be linked to rising
farm profits that led to consumption growth, an expansion of the
non-agricultural sector, increasing wage returns to education and higher school
enrollment. Together, these findings suggest that agricultural productivity
growth can play an important role in accelerating the fertility transition, as
long as the economic benefits are large enough to translate into local economic
development. JEL Classification: J13, O13, O14, Q10
