[The fertility of Moroccans in Belgium: an attempt at an explanation]

This study on Moroccan immigration in Belgium was carried out by the students participating in the Master of Demography course at Louvain-la-Neuve in May 1993. Part 1 reviews trends in immigration to Europe in general and to Belgium in particular. Part 2 discusses the relevant theories and literature. Part 3 examines the Moroccan population in Belgium using census data and compares fertility in this population in both the country of origin and destination. Part 4 presents results of interviews with 20 Moroccan women in Brussels. (ANNOTATION)
