Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Social science
  • Statistics
  • Family planning

Ronald Freedman mainly focuses on Family planning, Fertility, Demography, Socioeconomic status and Developing country. The study incorporates disciplines such as Population growth, Socioeconomics and Birth rate in addition to Family planning. The Fertility study combines topics in areas such as Developed country and Demographic economics.

His work deals with themes such as Total fertility rate and Research methodology, which intersect with Demography. His studies deal with areas such as Social change, Disadvantaged and Ethnic group as well as Socioeconomic status. In his research, Actuarial science, Multivariate analysis and Selection bias is intimately related to Program evaluation, which falls under the overarching field of Developing country.

His most cited work include:

  • Family Planning, Sterility, and Population Growth (233 citations)
  • The record of family planning programs. (150 citations)
  • Family Planning in Taiwan: An Experiment in Social Change (145 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His scientific interests lie mostly in Fertility, Family planning, Demography, Developed country and Total fertility rate. His study in Fertility is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Longitudinal study, Socioeconomic status, Socioeconomics and Demographic economics. His Family planning research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Economic growth, Developing country and Social change.

Ronald Freedman focuses mostly in the field of Demography, narrowing it down to topics relating to Population growth and, in certain cases, Population momentum. His Developed country research includes elements of Extended family and Ethnic group. His Total fertility rate research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Net reproduction rate and Birth control.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Fertility (59.33%)
  • Family planning (49.33%)
  • Demography (44.67%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1980-1997)?

  • Fertility (59.33%)
  • Family planning (49.33%)
  • Demography (44.67%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Ronald Freedman mainly investigates Fertility, Family planning, Demography, Total fertility rate and Developing country. Ronald Freedman interconnects Developed country, Reproductive behavior and Social change in the investigation of issues within Fertility. His Family planning research includes themes of Economic growth and Socioeconomics.

While the research belongs to areas of Demography, he spends his time largely on the problem of Extended family, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Kinship and Nuclear family. His research integrates issues of Age and female fertility, Birth rate and Demographic transition in his study of Total fertility rate. His work focuses on many connections between Developing country and other disciplines, such as Program evaluation, that overlap with his field of interest in Multivariate analysis, Selection bias, Actuarial science and Longitudinal study.

Between 1980 and 1997, his most popular works were:

  • The Origins of the Chinese Fertility Decline (102 citations)
  • Do Family Planning Programs Affect Fertility Preferences? A Literature Review (73 citations)
  • The Rise in Female Education in China: National and Regional Patterns (72 citations)
