The radiative corrections due to pair production in small-angle high-energy e{sup +}e{sup {minus}} Bhabha scattering are considered. The corrections due to the production of virtual pairs as well as real soft and hard pairs are calculated analytically. The collinear and semi-collinear kinematical regions of hard pair production are taken into account. The results in the leading and next-to-leading logarithmic approximations yield an accuracy {approximately}0.1%. Numerical calculations show that the effects of pair production must be taken into account in the precise luminosity determination at LEP. 10 refs., 2 figs., 2 tabs.
