Abstract
In this paper the continuous random mating two-sex model with «harmonic mean» fertility function, partially investigated by Schoen (1983), is studied. Its closed form solution in the phase space is obtained in virtue of the homogeneity of the vector field considered. By introducing the notion of survival ability it has been clarified the balancing role played by the «marriage market».
