Abstract
The author uses data from the 1977 Lesotho Fertility Survey to examine the relationship between fertility and women's labor force participation. The differential impacts of working only before and only after marriage are investigated, and data on contraceptive use and breast-feeding practices in relation to work experience are presented. It is found that in general, women who have no past employment experience have somewhat higher fertility than women with labor force experience.
