In a regime of high mortality, parents may have a greater number of births than their desired family size as an insurance against the possibility of losses in the future, at a time when fecundity loss or health hazards would make further births inadvisable or impossible. The log-linear probability model and data from the Malaysian Family Life Survey are used to explore this relationship quantitatively. The results suggest that perceived child survival probabilities affect husband's desired fertility significantly, in the expected direction, but have no impact on the wife's desire for further births. Important husband-wife differentials in the response of desired fertility to changes in other variables are also uncovered.
