This seems creepy. How can women work and still be fertile?

Abstract A simultaneous-equations model of Soviet fertility and labor-force participation is estimated from a cross section of 72 oblast's of the Russian Republic (RSFSR) reported in the 1970 census. The construction of the model is based on the neoclassical theory of household behavior. Simulated changes capture effects of policy changes in the exogenous variables on Soviet fertility and the female labor supply. Evidence of a backward-bending female labor-sunoly curve is found.

OH BOY MARRIAGE!!!!
Soviet fertility, labor-force participation, and marital instability

I find that the negative elasticity of fertility with respect to labor-force participation is quite large, that rising female education and wages are associated with declining labor force participation, and that marital instability and urbanization exert a negative effect on fertility.
