Intergenerational Income-Group Mobility and Differential Fertility.
One question development economists are especially interested in, but so far left unanswered, is how the societal income distribution would be affected by introducing a family-planning program to reduce the reproduction rate of the poor, which is usually high in developing countries. The purpose of this paper is to search for analytical answers to this question. The authors are able to make definite comparisons about some class of inequality measures of the steady-state societal income distributions, and these comparisons provide strong theoretical support in favor for the above-mentioned family-planning program.
