How Interviewers Affect Responses to Sensitive Questions on the Justification for Wife Beating, the Refusal to have Conjugal Sex, and Domestic Violence in India
Despite a general understanding that interviewers might cause measurement errors on sensitive questions in sample surveys, there is relatively little research on interviewer effects on responses to questions on women justifying a woman's refusal to have sex with her husband, women justifying wife beating, women's experience of physical and sexual violence, and whether the woman's father ever beat her mother. This study examines interviewer effect…

BACKGROUND: may underestimate mortality rates particularly for stillbirths. METHODS: and FPH to measure pregnancy outcomes in a household survey in five selected INDEPTH Network sites in Africa and South Asia (Bandim in urban and rural Guinea-Bissau; Dabat in Ethiopia; IgangaMayuge in Uganda; Kintampo in Ghana; Matlab in Bangladesh). The survey will reach >68 000 pregnancies to assess if there is ≥15% difference in stillbirth rates. Additional qu…
Perspectives and implications of the Improving Coverage Measurement Core Group’s validation studies for household surveys
BACKGROUND: Formal validation studies are of critical importance in determining whether or not household survey questions are providing accurate information on what they intend to measure. These studies supplement an array of methods used to evaluate survey questions. METHODS AND FINDINGS: This paper summarizes the methods used by the two major international household survey programmes - The Demographic and Health Surveys Program (DHS) and the Mu…
Measuring Coverage in MNCH
Household surveys are the primary data source of coverage indicators for children and women for most developing countries. Most of this information is generated by two global household survey programmes-the USAID-supported Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) and the UNICEF-supported Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS). In this review, we provide an overview of these two programmes, which cover a wide range of child and maternal health topi…
Success in reducing maternal and child mortality in Afghanistan
After the collapse of the Taliban regime in 2002, Afghanistan adopted a new development path and billions of dollars were invested in rebuilding the country's economy and health systems with the help of donors. These investments have led to substantial improvements in maternal and child health in recent years and ultimately to a decrease in maternal and child mortality. The 2010 Afghanistan Mortality Survey (AMS) provides important new informatio…
The Relationship of Family Size and Composition To Fertility Desires, Contraceptive Adoption and Method Choice in South Asia
The Relationship of Family Size and Composition To Fertility Desires,Contraceptive Adoption and Method Choice in South AsiaCONTEXT: Many countries in South Asia,including Nepal,India and Bangladesh,demonstrate a strong cultural preference for sons,which may influence fertility desires and contraceptive use.METHODS: Demographic and Health Survey data from married,nonpregnant women aged 15-49 who had at least one child were used to examine the rela…
Sex-Selective Abortions in India
Provisional estimates from the 2001 census of India, which showed unusually high sex ratios for young children, have sparked renewed concern about the growing use of sex-selective abortions to satisfy parental preferences for sons. According to the 1998-99 National Family Health Survey (NFHS-2), in recent years the sex ratio at birth in India has been abnormally high (107-121 males per 100 females) in 16 of India's 26 states. Data from NFHS-2 on …
Son Preference, the Family-building Process and Child Mortality in India
India is a country with a pervasive preference for sons and one of the highest levels of excess child mortality for girls in the world (child mortality for girls exceeds child mortality for boys by 43 per cent). In this article, data from the National Family Health Survey are used to examine the effect of son preference on parity progression and ultimately on child mortality. The demographic effects of family composition are estimated with hazard…

Unanswered Questions about the Immigration Multiplier
Estimating the Immigration Multiplier
In recent years, the vast majority of new immigrants to the United States have been admitted under the family reunification provisions of immigration law. Under this system, the potential for future immigration depends primarily on the magnitude of previous immigration and the size and geographic distribution of family networks of previous immigrants. This article explores the effect of “chaining” through the petitioning of relatives on the deman…
Unanswered Questions about the Immigration Multiplier
All of the papers in this volume shed light on the issue of the immigration multiplier, a topic of both academic and policy interest. Nevertheless, a number of questions regarding the strength of the immigration multiplier remain unanswered or only partially answered. In particular, four related questions about chain migration require more attention: what constitutes chain migration; what part of the chain are we examining; will the proposed chan…

The effect of sex preference on fertility
This essay is Fred Arnolds response to a criticism of Arnolds mathematical model which measures the effect of sex preference on fertility. The model was applied to Korea explicitly because the population of that country is very homogeneous and son preference is very pervasive. In addition overestimation is likely to occur due to sample variability and a risk factor where a couple with a particular preference avoids having another child because of…

Overseas Workers’ Remittances in Asian Development
In recent years, overseas workers from Asia have been sending remittances of about $8 billion annually to their home countries. These remittances are an important source of precious foreign exchange for the major labor-exporting countries. The overall development impact of remittances, however, has not been well established. Remittances are spent primarily on day-to-day consumption expenditures, housing, land purchase, and debt repayment. Althoug…

Measuring the effect of sex preference on fertility
Preferences for male or female children or a balanced number of sons and daughters are common throughout the world. The dominant preference is for male offspring, particularly in less developed countries. Strong son preference is often tempered, however, by a desire to have at least one child of each sex. In more developed countries a balance preference is more common, often together with a strong preference for the first child to be a son. Altho…
The Value of Daughters and sons
Data from the Value of Children Study are analyzed to examine preferences for sons in seven Asian Countries and the United States. Boy preference was found to be weak in the Philippines and Indonesia (countries which share a common Malayo-Polynesian background) and in the United States. In Korea and Taiwan (countries with Confucianist the preference for sons was both strong and pervasive. Intermediate levels of boy preference were observed in Tur…

Asian Labor Migration to the Middle East
There are currently between two and three million Asian workers in the Middle East, a tenfold increase in fewer than ten years. Pakistan and India each have about 800,000 workers in the Middle East (Demery, 1983). The increase in labor migration from Asia to the Middle East accompanied a rapid expansion in the economic and social development plans of the oil-exporting countries in the Middle East subsequent to the 1973 oil embargo. The indigenous…

Providing Medical Services to Undocumented Immigrants
The high cost of medical care in the United States has caused many health facilities to explore new measures for cutting costs or raising additional revenues. In some areas of the country, hospitals claim that they are burdened with a large number of unpaid bills owed by undocumented aliens who are in the United States illegally. In 1977, the General Accounting Office concluded, It appears that illegal aliens have consider? able economic impact o…
