A stochastic model involving the recurrent events (births, foetal deaths, etc.) associated with human reproduction is defined. Its simulation by means of a Monte Carlo program is described. The model is used to investigate the role of chance in producing biases in certain demographic measurements, particularly as regards the estimation of sterility, foetal death and stillbirth ratios, and birth intervals.
