<p>Historically, vast rural-urban differences undoubtedly existed in the fertility and employment characteristics of women in this country. This study was designed to compare and contrast differences which existed in 1960 in a sample of homogeneous counties in the United States. The findings indicate that both city-size and distance from the selected metropolitan centers do affect the proportionate number of employed females; the percentage employed declines consistently with distance and increases consistently with city-size. The fertility of women increased consistently with distance from the metropolitan centers but fluctuated irregularly with increasing size of central city. Thus, the great rural-urban differences in the fertility and employment patterns of women that once existed have undoubtedly diminished, although they have not entirely vanished with the passage of time.</p>
