The study of fertility differentials is of special significance for economic development and national planning. Differentials in fertility by education and religion have long been studied by demographers, geographers, planners, and other scientists; significant differences in fertility by both these parameters have been observed in India. This study is empirically examines differentials in fertility by religion and education in Dhanbad district, Jharkhand, based on primary data collected through a household survey. Mean children ever born (MCEB) is used as a measure to determine fertility rates of women by educational status and religion (Hindu vs. Muslim). Maps are drawn, using both current and cumulative fertility measures, to highlight spatial patterns of fertility. Findings show that Muslims have higher fertility than Hindus, but at higher educational status, the difference narrows considerably. Thus, education seems to have a homogenizing effect, reducing the Hindu-Muslim fertility gap.
