Fertility rate differentials between metro and nonmetro places varied somewhat over the next several decades, particularly when the age of the mother in metro or nonmetro places was taken into account. Nonmetro mothers tended to have their children at younger ages than metro women so that nonmetro fertility rates for younger women tended to be slightly higher than metro fertility rates, but lower than metro fertility rates for older women (Fuguitt et al. 1991). As a result, in the twenty-first century, most growth or decline in nonmetro places has been and will continue to be determined by migration.
By comparison, time devoted to voluntary work and care is minimal among those under 35 years of age and is highest among age groups 55 and older and continues to increase to around 70 years of age (Curnow 2000). Such labor tends to be ignored by labor statistics because it is unseen and unaccounted for in the GDP. An interesting study in Australia (Curnow 2000) even suggests that some housework for those under 35 years of age is accomplished by those over 50 years of age. This intergenerational transfer of time and labor goes undocumented and may amount to a surprisingly large amount of household labor and capital.
