This paper examines the impacts of preference that have been formed in childhood on the current number of births. We especially focus on the preference for housing conditions. For this purpose, we argue the difference in housing conditions between childhood and current living place. Our findings are (1) the size of rooms per person is positively correlated with the number of births; however (2) controlling for housing conditions in childhood, the difference in housing conditions between childhood and present rather than current housing conditions has a significantly positive effect on the number of births; and (3) this difference has no significant impact on the decision of marriage. These results suggest that as the flow of population from rural areas to urban areas diminishes, housing problems gradually have a small effect on the low fertility.
