Abstract

The purpose of the study is an examination of the hypothesis whether the influence of each of the three social factors (urbanization, education, and occupation) on attainments of two biological potentials: growth of youth and fertility differ between each other. The results were based on two country-wide samples of military conscripts (1965, 1986), using the path analysis.
