      Local Abstract: [PIP] A 1996 survey of 1200 families in the principality of Asturias, Spain, provided data for development of a model simultaneously determining the number and quality of children within the framework of the New Home Economics. The model emphasized interaction between the quality and quantity of children, female labor force participation, and family leisure activities. A system of simultaneous equations was estimated to contrast empirically the main linkages between the endogenous variables and those characterizing the economic and social position of the family: male and female wage rates, non-labor income, age and education of the spouses, rural or urban residence, and others. The model was estimated using a two-stage least squares method. The estimates obtained were consistent with the study hypotheses, reflecting satisfactorily the effects of the demographic and economic variables studied on the number and quality of children, labor force participation of women, and leisure activities, as well as interrelations among the endogenous variables.
