Focusing on fertility changes in Lebanon, the book draws from interviews with over 900 Lebanese women to explore how factors such as rural versus urban living, education, and religion influence reproductive patterns. It presents a detailed analysis of these dynamics within the context of a country with significant Christian communities, offering insights into broader trends in the Moslem fertile crescent. Additionally, the appendices address methodological challenges faced during the research and the strategies employed to overcome them.
