The Human Fertility Database
Acknowledgements
Creating the Human Fertility Database is a very challenging endeavor, and we are very grateful to all our colleagues from various research institutions and statistical agencies for their extensive help.
Institutional support
This project would not have been possible without the encouragement and financial support of the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research (MPIDR) in Rostock, Germany and the Vienna Institute of Demography (VID), Vienna, Austria. The European Commission funded the initial work by the VID as part of the project "Reproductive decision-making in a macro-micro perspective" (REPRO) in the Seventh Framework Programme (Grant Agreement: SSH-CT-2008-217173).
