Registration and Recognition. Documenting the Person in World History
This big book contains an edited selection of papers presented at a four-day workshop on the Comparative History of Registration held in Cambridge in 2010. It deals with a topic of central importan
Assessing the Potential of Condom Use to Prevent the Spread of HIV
In this study, a microsimulation model is used to assess the potential impact of condom use on women's lifetime risk of acquiring HIV in rural southern Malawi. The model draws on survey data for information on sexual activity, marriage and divorce, and on the biomedical literature for input parameters governing the transmission and spread of HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). We show that lifetime risk could be as high as 42 perc…
Moving' and Marrying
We use a microsimulation model to estimate the proportions of rural Malawian brides and grooms who are already HIV positive when they marry. The model, a demographic model of reproduction and mortality overlaid with a model of disease transmission, in
Sex and death
Demographers have traditionally been preoccupied with human reproduction and mortality, and with the links, at different levels of aggregation, between the two. Today, when in some regions of the world sexual intercourse carries with it the risk not just of pregnancy but of fatal infection with the human immunodeficiency virus, that traditional preoccupation acquires a special urgency
Deferment of the First Birth and Fluctuating Fertility in Sweden
Explaining Trends in Teenage Childbearing in Sweden
The teenage fertility rate fell precipitately in Sweden after 1966 and is now one of the lowest in Europe. This decline can be seen in the context of major reforms enacted in 1975 whereby the school sex‐education curriculum was revised, contraceptive services were improved, and abortion was provided free and on demand. By means of microsimulation, the possible roles of contraception and induced abortion in causing teenage fertility to fall are ex…
Economic Independence and Union Formation in Sweden
Although sociologists, demographers, and economists are generally agreed that economic independence enhances the likelihood that men will marry, there is disagreement concerning its effect on women. The view that economic independence weakens women's incentive to marry has probably been the most influential, although it has been subjected to few rigorous empirical tests with individual-level data. In the present paper we examine the predictors of…

Coitus interruptusand the Control of Natural Fertility
In this article I argue that pre-transitional natural fertility was sometimes controlled through birth-spacing, and that coitus interruptus was probably an important means of such control. First, the motivation for spacing was often strong, although not necessarily associated with a desire for family limitation; and control through spacing, although much harder to detect than a parity-dependent deceleration of the rate of childbearing, has been i…

Change and Continuity in the Formation of First Marital Unions in Australia
Marriage rates have now been falling in all Western countries for more than 20 years. Rising levels of women's education and employment, extra-marital cohabitation, and separation and divorce both preceded, and continue to accompany, this trend. We apply hazards models to a data-set rich in event-history information in order to study the links between these movements at the level of the individual in Australia. Contra the New Home Economists it t…
Formal Demography
Coitus Interruptus in the Twentieth Century
Most demographers give scant attention to coitus interruptus as a viable method of contraception. This likely results from a combination of factors. Most demographers live in countries where withdrawal is not widely practiced. A wide variety of more efficient and more easily employed methods now exists with modern methods tending to be female-initiated. Withdrawal is also neither unintrusive easy to use nor coitus-independent. Withdrawal however …
Sexual Behaviour and Networking
Marriage Dissolution in Australia
Interest in rising rates of marriage dissolution has been accompanied by curiosity concerning structural as well as temporal predictors of dissolution. Many factors may play a part: characteristics of the bride and groom; the circumstances surrounding the marriage, such as the length of periods of previous cohabitation; and situational factors within the marriage, such as the births of children and wives' employment. We examine the association be…

Do gravidity and age affect pregnancy outcome
Fetal loss has generally been found to vary with gravidity, previous experience of fetal loss, and maternal age, but the literature is divided on the reasons for these associations. In this paper we examine pregnancy histories obtained retrospectively from a nationally representative one-in-one-thousand sample of women in Australia aged 20 to 59 years. The relations of fetal loss ratios with both gravidity and previous outcome are consistent with…

Reassessing the Contraceptive Effect of Breastfeeding
Much of the recent demographic interest in the proximate determinants of fertility focuses on the link between breastfeeding and post partum amenorrhoea. Most analyses are based on a causal model, which may be assumed implicitly, and in which the duration of amenorrhoea is determined by the duration of breastfeeding. In the present paper objections to this approach are raised, because an extremely important cause of weaning is a new pregnancy, an…
Breast-feeding in Central Java
Earlier studies have documented long periods of breast-feeding in Central Java accompanied by long periods of sexual abstinence. Information on breast-feeding collected prospectively in rural Central Java between 1976 and 1978 is analysed by proportional hazards regression techniques. Only age at confinement and education enter the final model as explanatory variables for the duration of breast-feeding. A mechanism of weaning is identified whereb…

Child death and time to the next birth in Central Java
Data from a two-year prospective study conducted in a rural area of Central Java are used to examine determinants of child mortality and fertility and the relation between the two. Maternal age and birth order were significant determinants of child mortality. While child mortality in turn strongly influenced the timing of the next birth, there is no evidence that the death of a child affected fertility through any but a physiological mechanism. I…

A comment on elwood Carlson’s “the impact of international migration upon the timing of marriage and childbearing”
The author comments on a recent paper by Elwood Carlson concerning the disruptive impact of international migration on marriage and childbearing. The emphasis is on the suitability of Australian data from the 1971 Melbourne Family Survey for a study of this nature. A reply by Carlson (pp. 469-71) is included. (ANNOTATION)

Some methodological considerations in the analysis of current status data
Recent attention has focused on the length of the post partum period of infecundity in those societies where child-spacing has traditionally been achieved through post partum sexual abstinence or prolonged breast-feeding. The tabulation of proportions of women abstaining at interview by the age of the youngest child has been suggested as a technique free of problems of digital preference and memory lapse, while being otherwise equivalent to the d…

Models of contemporary Dutch family building
Recent data suggest that the level of use of oral contraceptives in the Netherlands is perhaps the highest in the world. Moreover, the greatest recent change in family building patterns is the tendency of newly weds to postpone their first birth. A micro-simulation model was developed to test the effect on fertility of such a change. An attempt was made to employ input data compatible with conditions obtaining in the Netherlands, and the distribu…

Landmarks in Australian Population History
This volume represents the Australian Population Associations contribution to the celebrations surrounding the two-hundredth anniversary of European settlement in Australia. The volume was conceived as a compendium of the best and most significant pieces of writing on Australian population history. The organization of the material is chronological and presents a demographic history of Australia covering such topics as aboriginal population coloni…
